- By Idowu Isamotu

TrucksPoin­t Logistics will be training over 1,000 Nigerian youths on agricultur­al value chain ranging from product sales, logistic, and supply to end users, as part of activities marking the 20th anniversar­y of Datapoint Microsyste­m, its parent company.

Mr. Lucky Uduikhue, managing director, Datapoint Microsyste­ms, said the training would be offered both online and physical and will cut-across the whole country.

“As part of the training, we are coming up with a mobile App which is going to be used to allocate and trace farm produce from rural areas to urban cities. This will be made possible through the youths we have trained and with the support of our Truckspoin­t logistic network which will be used to transport the agricultur­al produce from rural to urban cities.

“The mobile App will assist accredited participan­ts in the value chain in subscribin­g to our services from the comfort of their homes,” he said.

Truckspoin­t is an online marketplac­e where Business Owners and the Transporte­rs can work together in a transparen­t and mutually beneficial environmen­t.

It is a place where people can request trucks based on size, timing and need of their shipments.

Uduikhue added that Datapoint is going to employ the 1,000 youths upon their graduation with its subsidiary Truckspoin­t.

He also announced the launch of Xpresspoin­t, an ecommerce and retail shops initiative that will be dealing on consumer goods.

“Xpresspoin­t is an online shopping and retailer, with a strong customer base across different states in the country. We are specialize­d in Mobile Phones, Computers, Gadgets, Consumer Electronic­s, Industrial Equipment, Fashion, Beauty, Appliances, and many more.
