## What Happened: Glovo’s Nigeria Focus And Income Goals
Glovo’s Global Director of Public Affairs, William Benthall, said the company is doubling down on Nigeria.

Benthall said Glovo is focusing on improving job and income opportunities for riders and SMEs. SMEs are small and medium-sized enterprises, which are smaller businesses.

Benthall also linked growth across African markets to partnerships and critical infrastructure. That framing matters for platform businesses, which depend on reliable systems and partners to serve users and support the businesses that sell through them.
