November 0%, (THEWILL) – Omatek Ventures has come out of rebound. Almost seven years after the ICT company went comatose due to financial challenges, it is now off the hook of receivership, has hit the market running and is set to start trading.
The company recently held its first physical Annual General Meeting since the COVID-19 pandemic. The management reiterated its commitment to the company’s shareholders.
The first company to have a factory to locally assemble computer cases, speakers, keyboards and mouse, other than computer systems and Notebooks in the whole of Africa, Omatek Ventures is also one of the few ICT companies to be listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The assembling of these computer components created a great advantage to other systems builders as well as resellers all over Africa for retailing.
If only the founder, Florence Seriki were to be alive today to see that the company, the product of her sweat, tears and blood, still carries on with her legacy despite the huge setback experienced. Unfortunately, she passed on six years ago from cancer of the pancreas at the age of 54.
Fondly referred to as Mama Computer, Florence was a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers, Nigerian Computers Society and the Institute of Directors. She held a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the Obafemi Awolowo University. She was ahead of her time and she did stamp her footprint like a colossus.
