The self-styled KokoMaster and one of Nigeria’s most
iconic entertainers, D’Banj has paid a courtesy visit to the Corporate Head
Office of Yudala to congratulate the company on the revolution being
spearheaded in the retail business space with the launch of its Retail Stores
Division which held last Saturday July 25th.
Yudala, Nigeria’s first
true composite retail chain, has carved a niche for itself by being the first
company to combine an online shopping platform with offline retail outlets
spread across major cities in Nigeria, with a target of further expansion into
other African capitals.
The company had
commissioned four stores: two Experience Stores at Medical Road, Ikeja and at
the 1st Floor of The Palms Shopping Complex, Lekki as well as two Smart Stores
at 25B Idowu Martins Street, Victoria Island and Redemption Crescent, Gbagada
last weekend.
The glamorous and
well-attended event attracted eminent Nigerians from all walks of life
including bank CEOs, captains of industry, representatives of Corporate
Nigeria, A-list artistes and crowds of enthusiastic shoppers who were on hand
to take advantage of the unprecedented discounts and freebies on offer.
Yudala Online is set to
go live in August, with the Management of the e-commerce platform promising
even bigger deals at launch.
Speaking during his
visit to the office, the multi-award winning D’Banj commended the vision behind
the emergence of Yudala, while acknowledging the company’s status as a
Nigerian-owned business as a thing worth celebrating.
“I am glad to be here
today to key into the Yudala revolution. The combination of online and offline
retail is a master-stroke and I offer my sincere congratulations to the Management
of Yudala for this idea. Also, the fact that Yudala is a purely Nigerian company
is good news for us all. I had assumed the company was a foreign-owned
business, especially considering the strategy, standards and ambience of the
Yudala Experience Stores.”
D’Banj, who stormed the
Yudala office armed with the Evolution award which he received at the 2015 MTV
Africa Music awards (MAMA 2015), presented the award to the Management of the
company as well as his latest brand offering - KokoGarri, a packaged variant of the staple food.
Vice President, Yudala
Retail Stores, Mr. Stanley Uzoechina, who was on hand to welcome the KokoMaster with excited staff of the
company, congratulated D’Banj for his 2015 MAMA Evolution award and hailed him
as a true ambassador and pride of Nigeria.
Mr. Uzoechina who
seized the opportunity to further share the company’s vision with the artiste,
revealed that Yudala is indeed a revolution worth identifying with. According
to him, the company has a road-map to reach millions of unreached Nigerians
with the launch of 10 additional stores nationwide before the end of August
2015 and the commissioning of 151 Yudala Stores by June 2017.
This figure, he noted,
will increase to 512 Stores by June 2019, stressing that in no time, there will
be a Yudala Store in virtually every local government council in the country
which will create a minimum of 150,000 jobs for Nigerians.
Yudala – which means
Best wishes, Peace of mind and Prosperity - has strong partnership for products
from major brands in the ICT sphere including HP, Apple, Lenovo, Tecno Mobile,
INNJOO, Infinix Mobility, Wiko Phones, X-Touch, SONY, YEZZ, DELL, Philips,

will be unveiled in segments.
Backed by its multi-pronged yet standardized business model, the company has a bold ambition to dictate the pace and set new milestones for online and offline retail business, with the delivery of world class products and services in every Yudala store and on the online platform.
