The association is built on the need to tap into the Nigerian market's exuberance in Direct Selling and provide a globally recognised platform for customers and distributors to facilitate sales and marketing that will significantly improve customer service management and local market access for the brand.
Reports say the entry of the emerging e-commerce company in Nigeria aligns with the government’s vision to partner with the private sector to achieve the needed economic recovery and transformative growth effectively.
The brand is positioning itself as a credible business entity, set to create genuine entrepreneurial skills among the youth of Nigeria through well-established global e-commerce and Direct Selling ecosystems, hence implementing a pilot phase of its signature financial literacy programme, FinGreen.
The literacy programme is designed for women and youth of vulnerable communities in emerging economies to drive developmental goals in mind. It is vital for supporting overall economic growth and encouraging governments, corporations, and communities to achieve broader development objectives.
Firm launches financial literacy programme
The programme's pilot phase, launched in June 2022, saw over 600 young people trained to be financially literate and empowered. An initial number of 20 participants were introduced using the train-the-trainer module, which taught other youth in their communities using the peer-to-peer approach. This training saw young people in Lagos state and its environs involved and benefit from it.
Other initiatives by the company, within the year in review, included the brand's participation in the 2022 World Water Forum, thought leader opinions on the “Direct Selling model being key to youth empowerment”, and their contribution to the conversation on climate change’s impact on developing countries such as Nigeria, during the World Environment Day.
The company plans to continue expanding its operations in Nigeria, focusing on mindset and developmental change in financial literacy and introducing new product lines in the coming year.
According to a survey by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), Nigeria is eager for business opportunities.
