Speaking at the Rooftop
Restaurant, Victoria Island, Lagos, the Country Manager, OLX, Lola Masha
reaffirmed OLX’s commitment to continuous innovation and improved quality of
service delivery to its teeming users.
“When OLX commenced operations in Nigeria
three years ago, we had our work clearly cut out. We started out with a
determination to build an operation with excellence at its core” Masha said.
She also said that among the
many segments of the business, the vehicle category is one of the most popular,
and OLX have seized the occasion of its third anniversary to celebrate our
top-performing dealers on our site who have played a major role in our on-going
success story. We are doing all we can to boost this category and other ones by
establishing operational relationships and forging partnerships with other
credible brands.’’
While acknowledging that the
business had experienced its fair share of challenges, Public Relations Lead of
OLX, Uche Nwagboso said that each challenge has however presented a unique
growth opportunity.
“Each obstacle has actually
driven us to do more, to innovate more and to achieve more. We believe that as
we continue to innovate, to form new strategic alliances and to strengthen our
twin pillars of safety and trust, we are contributing to the evolution and
establishment of a vibrant e-commerce culture in Nigeria. Indeed, OLX is driven
to become such a credible brand in the country that anytime, anyone has a
product to buy or sell, the person automatically thinks OLX,” she said.
Sharing his OLX experience
at the event, Henchard Omere, a car dealer based in Ikeja who has been on OLX
since July 2013 and placed 322 ads till date, said, “As a car dealer, my dreams
of expanding my reach had always seemed far-fetched until the day a colleague
told me about OLX and since I signed on two years ago, my business has grown
like never before.”
Stressing that with the
limited space in his shop, he had many cars parked at his residence, but thanks to OLX, he was able to sell 12 vehicles within a short period.
"I have also diversified
to other profitable ventures because of the OLX advantage of safety, trust and
convenience, and I am so grateful to the OLX team and everyone who has helped
make my dreams come true,” he said.
