Speaking on challenges faced by innovative companies, CEO, AFEN Blockchain group, Deborah Ojengbede, stated that a lot of innovative start-ups face regulatory and resource limitations.
“The regulatory clime is not usually in favour of startups; policies and policy implementers. There is also the problem of resources, which is not majorly finance but having the required skill sets,” she said.
