A recent forecast by Statista has revealed that 13 per cent of all sales that would be done in Nigeria by 2026 will be conducted online. This shows the digital space in Nigeria is flourishing, with internet penetration currently at 55 per cent and poised to grow steadily.

Sharing his experiences, the CEO of Autoproject, Raymond Iyoha, a dealer partner with Cars45, said: “Our biggest challenge was getting the right car to buy. Sometimes, we end up buying vehicles with security issues. But since partnering with Cars45, when it comes to verification, I’m rest assured.”

Levi Bereiweriso, a business owner who specialises in selling cars on Jiji, narrated how he experienced firsthand the benefits of selling online.

“Jiji has really helped me to stay connected, to stay competitive in the car-selling business. I’ve sold numerous cars to customers all over Nigeria and made profits. That’s because over 95 per cent of people who reach out from the platform are genuine and interested buyers.”

On his part, the CEO of De-Supreme Property, Abati Idowu Waheed, said: “When I started my business in 2020, I had nothing. Jiji helped me begin with small ads on their platform and over time.I was able to increase my investment as my business expanded.”
