Social marketplace Mobofree has announced plans to have local presence in Lagos, Nigeria. Out of the platform’s 3 million users, 2.2 million are in Nigeria.
Having a local presence in Nigeria according to Cristobal Alonso, Co-founder and Chairman of the board of MoboFree, would enable MoboFree to offer its users on-ground support services.
“We are excited to be able to provide on-ground support to our growing customer base in Nigeria and and to create locally adapted & customised opportunities that will deliver and exceed desired returns,” said Alonso
HumanIPO reported the value of items listed for sale on African social marketplace MoboFree.com will hit US$1.5 billion by 2015, with the current total value of items already surpassing US$526 million.
The establishment of local presence in Nigeria, MoboFree said is ‘a natural next step in order to ensure more effective operations and achieve targets’.
