Jumia Nigeria Is Launching Jumia Local To Sell Made-in-Nigeria Products

Jumia Nigeria is marking Nigeria’s 56th independence day anniversary this year by introducing an online store dedicated to products made in Nigeria. They’re calling it Jumia Local and the official launch is this Saturday, October 1, 2016 .

Jumia Local is Jumia’s way of supporting local entrepreneurs and brands that manufacture or assemble their products in Nigeria. Merchants on the site will be able to sell their products on at 0% commission, and their products will be promoted through Jumia’s marketing channels (social media accounts, mobile apps, billboards, and radio).

Jumia is calling this a social responsibility initiative that’s aimed at growing the local economy. According to Bili Sule , Head of Business Development, Jumia Nigeria, “To build a sustainable and healthy ecosystem for Nigeria, we need to focus on products made in Nigeria. The change starts with each and everyone of us and Jumia will lead the way by taking the responsibility to promote our own Nation’s products.”

As expected, vendors that want to sell on Jumia Local must have their products made or assembled in Nigeria. Another condition is that they have to sell online exclusively through Jumia for the first six months

What were they selling before?

Am not gonna pretend like other nairalanders who wish to be on the "Festus Commentus" position but always lie to themselves that it means nothing, whereas they've had their hearts pounding and beating fast, wishing their phone's network could be a faster, and cursed MTN, Glo and Etisalat when their "Festus Commentus" suddenly becomes "Honorable Secondus" or a Fetus. Mehn. It feels good to be here.

In line with the tradition. I wanna dedicate this "Festus Commentus" to Amenze S. A my life partner, to Obaseki on his "alleged" victory at the polls, and to my fellow FI-DEE-FI members and supporters.
It feels good to be here. Though it happens by luck anyway.

Ya'll have a great weekend.

Welcome development. Cant wait

Oya, where are Aba boys? This is a great opportunity to show case your products online thereby telling the world the stuffs you're made of. All those Aba made suits, Shoes, sandals etc should be uploaded sharply....

This would go along way to tell the world that we can be little bit self sufficient in production for now I know we re going bigger.
