Abstract:
Nigeria is an economy with a GDP of $493bn of which $12bn is realized from e-commerce. Despite the growing appetite of e-commerce, evidence shows that many still engage in the traditional ways of shopping. Therefore, there is a need to investigate and unravel the perception of e-commerce among professionals in Nigerian economy.
