Jumia co-CEO and co-founder, Jeremy Hodara, who stated this on Wednesday in Lagos at a ceremony to mark the company’s 10 years of e-commerce in Nigeria, said the next chapter is about bettering the lives of its customers and partners.

The celebration was attended by key stakeholders of Jumia’s ecosystem including consumers, sellers, partners and communities. It also had panel sessions exploring the future of the logistics’ sector in Nigeria, e-commerce as the future of retail in Nigeria and the evolution of payment systems.

Hodara, said, “Nigeria has always had a special place in the business of Jumia; this is where we started, and we always said if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere in Africa, which has proven true. With that in mind, we don’t take for granted where we are today.

“Ten years ago, no one believed e-commerce could work, but we are here today and what we have always been proud of at Jumia is that we are a marketplace. We don’t do everything ourselves, we do it with our partners – we are not only proud of where Jumia is but where the entire ecosystem of e-commerce is in Nigeria,” he added.

In her keynote address and on the contributions of Jumia to e-commerce growth and the Nigerian economy, director general, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dr. Chinyere Almona, said the coming of Jumia into Nigeria 10 years ago, revolutionised and popularised e-commerce in Nigeria.

“The performance of Jumia which is hinged on the philosophy of quality service delivery and value for money has positioned the company in a leadership position and reference point within the industry. Your impact on the Nigerian economy is multidimensional and profound.

“Jumia is not only the largest e-commerce platform in Nigeria, but the most innovative providing trading opportunities for thousands of sellers to connect with millions of consumers in Africa. On a joyous note, I wish you a great 10 years ahead,” she noted.

Appreciation awards were also given to five stakeholders whose collaboration and unwavering support have been significant to the growth and success of Jumia in Nigeria.
