Nigerian e-commerce site Konga.com is celebrating its one year anniversary and has praised itself for significant growth despite the challenges the industry faces in the West African country.
The company’s staff has grown from a team of seven one year ago to more than 200 now, helped by investment from Kinnevik, from Sweden, and Naspers in South Africa.
A company statement said: “A key strength of Konga’s operations lay in its understanding of the Nigerian people and its focus on customer centricity, understanding that Nigerians have a voice, and want to be heard.
“The company has opened up diverse channels of communication utilizing modern technology, its over 350,000 Facebook fans, Google plus and Twitter pages serve as a meeting point for Nigerians not only to experience the companies services, but interact and share their views on different matters.”
To celebrate the one year anniversary, Konga stated it has carried out various activities including a surprise visit to the platform’s first customer, Kehinde Laleye.
