Dangote Cement to begin selling products on Jumia

Dangote Cement will begin selling its products on the e-commerce platform, Jumia. This is an attempt establish a secure platform for customers to purchase products, thereby avoiding fake vendors who claim to be selling Dangote products at a cheaper price, according to The Nation. 

"A bag of cement on the platform is only NGN2500 and it includes the cost of freighting and offloading to the warehouse of the customers. Convenience and reliability are assured. This will hopefully address online scammers who say they sell the product for NGN1000 per bag and never do anything," said Chux Mogbulu, key accounts director at Dangote Cement.

The minimum order quantity will be 300 bags of cement, but this may be lowered in the future.
