A Lagos-based forex trader, Mr Emeka Oscar Chukwumanjo, could not hide his excitement last Friday when he was presented the Suzuki Power Bike he won in the Jumia-Nestle raffle draw.
This was because when he was making an order for the 1kg Milo Refill from Jumia, a product less than N5,000 in value, he never knew he will join the power bike gang very soon.
At the prize presentation ceremony in Lagos, the lucky Jumia customer confirmed that he was extremely surprised when he was contacted that he won a brand new power bike.
Though he is a frequent customer on the Jumia platform, he said he never believed he could win such a big prize.
“I was surprised when I received the call from Jumia. I have been a long-time customer on the Jumia platform. My family shop twice every week on Jumia, it is the preferred online platform for me. I am delighted to have won this,” the excited Mr Chukwumanjo, who is a native of Anambra State but a resident of Satellite Town axis of Lagos, said.
Speaking at the ceremony monitored by a representative of the National Lottery Regulations Commission, the Head of Marketing at Jumia Nigeria, Ms Olajumoke Bolu-Kujero, said the prize is just one of the many benefits customers stand to get when they shop on Jumia.
“We partner with major brands to bring the best products to customers at the most affordable prices. And beyond being able to save more, customers get the opportunity of winning prices and added incentives such as free delivery and more,” she said.
Nestle is one of the several top global brands that have partnered with Africa’s foremost e-commerce platform, Jumia, to make their products easily accessible to customers.
The partnership is also making products of this brand more affordable for customers, thus enabling them to save more while shopping on the platform.
“We also tested this with some brick and mortar stores, but opted to collaborate with Jumia as the only online platform because it is the strongest e-commerce platform in Nigeria.” The Head of Modern Trade at Nestle Nigeria, Mr Peter Otu, said.
