The founder of i-Naira.com, Hillary Nwaukor has been honoured with the award of technology innovator of the year at the Beacon of ICT (BoICT) Lecture and Award series held in Lagos recently.
According to Communications Week Media Limited, the organisers of the event, Nwaukor and his online Consumer Sales Promotion (CSP) company were recognised for the innovation to rid the Nigerian online space of unscrupulous auctioneers.
