Nigerian entrepreneur Hannah Olawumi has intensified efforts to bridge the digital literacy gap among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), stressing that business survival now depends on a strong online presence.

Through her company, MyDigitalBrandBox (MDBB), Olawumi is providing tailored digital solutions to business owners who often find the technical demands of online platforms overwhelming. MDBB offers brand strategy, social media management, website development, and virtual training designed to help SMEs and solopreneurs compete in the digital marketplace.

“Many business owners recognise the importance of being online but are overwhelmed by the technical complexities,” Olawumi said. “Our mission is to empower them by demystifying the process and providing them with the service, tools and guidance they need to succeed.”

Her initiative comes at a time when e-commerce and digital adoption are expanding rapidly across Nigeria, with analysts warning that businesses without a defined digital strategy risk being left behind. MDBB’s focus on accessible training and structured guidance has made it a growing ally for SMEs seeking visibility and competitiveness in a crowded market.

Olawumi said MDBB’s approach is not just about services but about creating capacity among business owners. “We want to see Nigerian SMEs move from just surviving to thriving in the global economy. That starts with knowledge, confidence, and consistent digital engagement,” she explained.

By equipping entrepreneurs with the skills and support they need, MDBB is positioning itself as part of Nigeria’s wider digital transformation, one that is enabling businesses to scale beyond local boundaries and tap into new global opportunities.
