"#1000 per bag of Cement - Wonders"
Recently in Lagos, a new move was designed to reduce price and
ease logistics inherent in the purchase of its products, the management of
Dangote Cement Plc has signed a pact with the foremost e-commerce platform,
Jumia Nigeria, to offer for sale its cement to customers online.
At the
unveiling of the deal in Lagos, Dangote Cement, Key Account Director, Chux
Mogbolu, said Dangote Cement was happy to partner with online shopping giant,
in a bid to make Dangote cement available with ease to customers.
According to the deal, Nigerians and corporate
bodies wishing to purchase a minimum of 300 bags of 50kg of Dangote Cement and
above can now order on Jumia from the
comfort of their rooms at a reasonable
price of N2,500 per bag as opposed to the price in the open market and
have them delivered to any place of their choice without any extra cost for
transportation.
Mogbolu, however, disclosed that the purchase would
only be within Lagos, Port- Harcourt and Abuja for now. He said: “Dangote
Cement decided to work with Jumia Nigeria based on its credibility and
excellent performance over the years in online shopping management.” He added
that the new initiative would help arrest the scams perpetrated by online
fraudsters who deceived the people by asking them to purchase Dangote cement
for N1000 per bag.
“For now, the
pilot scheme is live in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, but we can extend to
other cities depending on the level of demand and performance of the new deal.
“With the deal, Nigerians in need of seamless supply of cement from Dangote can
now place order and pay online and wait for the delivery in record time from
any of Dangote’s nearest cement plant to Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja.
“We are
starting with Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 300, 600 and 900. We may increase
depending on demand surge as time goes on,” Mogbolu explained. Speaking on the
deal, Chief Executive Officer of Jumia Nigeria, Juliet Anammah, said the deal
with Dangote Cement was part of efforts to deepen service delivery on Jumia
Nigeria online platform.
Anammah said
she was of the belief that the deal would be beneficial to all parties involved
and deepen further online shopping in Nigeria as obtained all over the world.
