An e-commerce platform designed to connect Nigeria to the West world via e-commerce and to showcase its potentials will soon be launched in the country by WesternMall. WesternMall is an e-commerce platform designed to create a hub for person to person trade between Nigerians and people in Europe and USA. Representative of the company, Mr. Nosa Idehen, who disclosed this in Abuja, said:
“We are starting one transaction at a time and the goal is to put Nigeria on the map for international trade using the internet. “There is also the avenue for local sales from person to person in Nigeria. This comes with the added safety check which we provide by not allowing third party communication.
“All items listed on our website pass through our warehouse to ensure that it is as described by the seller to maintain a safe and hassle free environment. “The auction sales option allows for users to place items that they do not have need for anymore on WesternMall and allow users to bid on it, the highest bidder goes home with the item”.
The essence of the platform according to Western- Mall is to also giving Nigerians the opportunity to earn extra income through this avenue. “As craftsmen, tailors and other skilled people who have exportable items can list it on WesternMall and earn income in forex when interested users of our site in other locations visit and carry out transactions.
“We handle the logistics and all they need to do is get their item ready and send to our warehouse on purchase. This arrangement also applies to people outside Nigeria, as they have the opportunity to sell safely without the fear of being scammed as we moderate all transactions. “So through WesternMall an individual in Dagenham (UK) can sell to someone else in Kafanchan (Nigeria) very easily”.
