It was an emotional evening for Seamfix Nigeria Limited, a tech company located in The Centre of Excellence, Lagos, as the platform rolled out the drums on Tuesday, October 17, at Four Point by Sheraton, Oniru, Lagos, to mark its 10th anniversary.

Delivering his speech, the MD, Chimezie Emewulu, traced the history of the company. He said: “During our National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) in 2006, we became curious and that curiosity was what brought about Seamfix Nigeria Limited which started officially in 2007. We converted our three-bedroom flat to office use while we were still staying in it.

“The first staff we had made a lot of difference, a lot changed when she came in and she was paid four times the amount we got as salary. There were a lot of discouragement by people who believed we ought to take things slowly. We were advised to focus on the jobs we had then rather than jumping in to the risky business world.”

However, he revealed that during those rough days, his mum’s support played a key role in keeping the dream alive among a host of others who supported Seamfix Nigeria Limited.

He continued: “Among various places we had gone to introduce our services, Intercontinental Bank (now defunct) was one bank that recognized our efforts. Things became fine but went bad again such that we started trading in honey to survive and run the business.

“At a point, investors came but with the intention to take over the business completely. That didn’t go down well with us so we had to ignore them and continue with pursuing the dream. Today, are success story has inspired our staff and other emerging entrepreneurs,” Emewulu added.
