For those wondering how to place their order online, its now
possible via Jumia, especially those
interested in Dangote Cement,
reports ITRealms.
In a latest move 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 how much is sold in the open market and see 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”, adding that the new initiative would help arrest the
scams perpetrated by online fraudsters who deceived the people by asking them
to come and 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.
