Marketplace Naija, an online platform, has been introduced, in what it’s spokesperson, Ifejika Somtochukwu said, is to address challenges Nigerians face when conducting online transactions.
Somotochukwu said in the statement that many Nigeria were exposed to fraudulent dealings due to unstructured and unreliable online platforms.
According to him, the platform, which is accessible at www.marketplace.ng, aims at connecting buyers and sellers across the country.
“Our focus has always been to make everyday trading simpler and safer for Nigerians.
“People shouldn’t have to struggle to find a buyer, verify a seller, or understand what they’re paying for,” the statement read.
The platform allows users to list items, such as property, vehicles, and services while providing verification tools and reporting mechanisms to flag suspicious activity.
It also incorporates feedback from local communities with the aim of supporting small traders, artisans, students, and business owners in reaching customers beyond their immediate locations.
Marketplace Naija says it is developing additional features to help users filter listings, communicate securely with sellers, and complete transactions with greater confidence.
