 Jumia Nigeria has announced that its 2020 Black Friday campaign will close the revenue gap created by the COVID-19 lockdown for most businesses in the country. Theevent is slated to hold from

November 6th to 30th.

Jumia Nigeria CEO, Massimiliano Spalazzi made the announcement during the Jumia Sellers Conference, which was held recently. The conference usually holds every year before the Black Friday campaign kicks off.

“The Black Friday campaign has been a success year-on-year, hence the reason we’re hosting it for the 8th time. As it has always been, this year’s campaign will focus on providing support for MSMEs, seeing that it’s been a rather tough year for a lot of businesses. This will be a great opportunity to recoup sales that may have run low due to the lockdown brought on by the global pandemic. It is also an avenue to give back to consumers by offering them amazing and cost saving deals,” Spalazzi added.
