The Management of Dangote Cement Plc has signed an agreement with leading e-commerce platform, Jumia Nigeria, to allow sale of its cement to customers online at a reduced price. The deal was consummated yesterday in Lagos. At the unveiling of the deal yesterday, Dangote Cement’s Key Account Director, Chux Mogbolu, told newsmen that Dangote Cement was happy to partner with the online shopping giant 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 could now order on Jumia from the comfort of their rooms at a reasonable price of N2,500 per bag as opposed to open market price.
All orders are expected to be delivered to any place of the consumer's choice provided the location is within Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja. The delivery according to a statement released by the Corporate Communications Department of Dangote Group will be done without any extra cost. The statement added
“Dangote Cement decided to work with Jumia Nigeria based on its credibility and excellent performance over the years in online shopping management. The new initiative will help arrest the scams perpetrated by online fraudsters who deceive the people by asking them to purchase Dangote Cement for N1000 per bag.”
