About Smartdrive & Systems Limited
Smartdrive was setup and incorporated in Nigeria on 26th January, 2015 by a team of dedicated IT experts who voluntarily left the services of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (Multinational Oil & Gas in Nigeria) with not less than 20 years of experience to redefine IT Software Business Landscape in Nigeria, Africa as well as a global foot print.

Since inception till date, we have put together a complete IT Business Solutions Platform with collaboration with our colleagues in UK & India with the aim of enhancing better business performance and create real value for business entrepreneurs in Nigeria and around the world.

We realized that in today’s world, Internet has consolidated itself as a very powerful platform that has changed forever the way we do business, and the way we communicate. Internet has become the Universal source of information for millions of people, at home, at school, and at work. Internet is changing all the time. Two things, in our opinion, have marked its evolution recently: the social web and mobile technology. These two innovations have changed the way people use the Internet.  At smartdrive we facilitate the growth of small businesses by using the Social Media Platform to show case their goods and services thereby increasing their customer base. We build and deploy strong Marketing Campaigns on Internet to grow customers for our clients.
