The company stated this during its 10th anniversary. The Managing Director, Oriflame Nigeria, Nikola Baroli, emphasised the company’s commitment to addressing unemployment in Nigeria, which he said was evident through its support and mentorship programmes, aimed at giving Nigerians a strong start in entrepreneurship without the need for initial capital investment.
He highlighted Oriflame’s unique business model, which is a social selling company from Sweden, promoting beauty and well-being products, while offering Nigerians the opportunity to become entrepreneurs with zero investment
He explained that the company provides all the necessary tools, support, and training for individuals to start their journey, sell products, and earn commissions.
He said this commission does not only provide financial support but also helps improve their quality of life.
“Unemployment is a significant issue in Nigeria. We want to support as many Nigerians as possible, offering them training and mentorship to start their businesses with zero investment. Our business is growing yearly, with increasing sales and commission payouts, helping to change lives across Nigeria,” he said.
According to him, the company’s impressive sales figures reflect this growth, with N2.3 billion generated from sales of Wellosophy between May 2023 and April 2024.
The Marketing Manager of Oriflame Nigeria, Adesewa Okeyinka said the company has significantly bolstered the Nigerian economy, contributing billions of naira.
She said the company has also provided meaningful engagement for underemployed individuals, offering them a platform to thrive and contribute economically.
“This engagement means more to us than the monetary gains because it gives people a happy place and a substantial way to contribute to the economy,” Okeyinka added.
She announced that the company has extended its marketing strategy to universities and the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) with plans to capture at least three million undergraduates, empowering them as entrepreneurs while they are still in school and during their service year.
