According to Jumia, the development signifies a major step forward in Jumia Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing its logistics capabilities and consolidating its supply chain management operations.
The Chief Executive of Jumia Nigeria, Sunil Natraj, said, “The launch of our integrated warehouse marks a key moment for Jumia Nigeria. By consolidating our operations under one roof, we are not only streamlining our fulfillment processes but also laying the groundwork for significant improvements in efficiency, scalability, and cost reduction. This will allow us to offer a wider product variety and, most importantly, deliver them to our consumers faster than ever before.”
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Mrs Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, who represented the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said, “Jumia’s journey in Nigeria has been nothing short of extraordinary. From simple beginnings, it has grown into a leading e-commerce company revolutionising the way we shop and do business. This new warehouse with its cutting-edge technology and vast capacity will significantly enhance Jumia’s ability to serve its customers efficiently.
“Meeting the ever-growing demands of the e-commerce sector is a bold economic step forward in ensuring that goods can be delivered faster, more reliably, and at a lower cost.
