The summit will convene key stakeholders across Nigeria’s technology, digital, and commerce ecosystems, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue on the future of commerce and innovation in the country.

Expected attendees include government stakeholders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and innovators who will explore emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges shaping the commerce and logistics landscape.

Speaking about the planned summit, Reni Onafeko, interim general manager, Glovo Nigeria, said that the event reflects the company’s commitment to empowering small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), which are widely regarded as the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, with access to tools, insights, and digital infrastructure.

Onafeko explained that Glovo Future of Commerce 2.0 will focus on scaling impact across Nigerian cities, leveraging technology to drive inclusive growth and expand access to digital commerce opportunities.

“At Glovo, we are deeply committed to empowering local businesses and creating opportunities for SMBs to thrive in an increasingly digital economy. Nigeria’s commerce ecosystem is evolving rapidly, driven by innovation and a new generation of entrepreneurs.

The Future of Commerce Summit 2.0 reflects our vision of fostering collaboration and equipping entrepreneurs with the tools and insights needed to scale sustainably. Through this platform, we aim to amplify the voices of businesses and drive impactful conversations that will shape the future of commerce in Nigeria,” she said.

Building on the success of its inaugural edition last year, the 2026 summit aims to spotlight the role of digital platforms in driving economic growth, empowering small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and accelerating Nigeria’s digital transformation.

The new hub is designed to tackle key challenges within Nigeria’s fast-growing Qcommerce ecosystem including low digital trust, infrastructure volatility, and the need for 24/7 real-time service. With a team of +100 trained professionals, the facility provides live operational support for customers, riders, and vendors that use the Glovo platform nationwide.

According to the General Manager, Glovo Nigeria, Lamide Akinola, the Abuja LiveOps Hub demonstrates the company’s ongoing investment in innovation, reliability, and human capital development in Nigeria.

Akinola explained that the new facility integrates advanced Artificial Intelligence technology with human intelligence to ensure seamless and secure service.

“The LiveOps Hub in Abuja reflects our investment in resilience and reliability. We have invested heavily in redundant high-speed satellite links and powerful backup power solutions, including generators and solar systems, to ensure our team operates 24/7 without downtime. This means we are always available when customers, riders, or vendors need us most,” she said.

The hub’s tiered support system is built around specialized “Pods”, such as Refunds, Rider Support, and Vendor Relations, allowing agents to resolve complex cases faster and with greater precision.

Since its establishment in early 2025, the team has maintained an impressive 90% success rate in responding to customer inquiries within 30 seconds, setting a new benchmark for responsiveness and reliability in Nigeria’s on-demand sector.

Beyond speed and technology, the Abuja hub represents Glovo’s belief that great customer support depends on local understanding. In cities where unmapped addresses and complex routes can challenge delivery operations, the locally based LiveOps team plays a key role in helping riders and customers connect seamlessly. Agents use their knowledge of neighbourhoods, landmarks, and delivery patterns to solve navigation-related issues in real time, bridging the gap between technology and on-the-ground realities.

Beyond operations, the Abuja Hub doubles as a LiveOps Academy, dedicated to nurturing and retaining Nigerian talent. Agents receive training beyond customer service, including business analysis, fraud detection, and project management. This investment not only builds long-term skills but also strengthens Nigeria’s growing digital service ecosystem and contributes to a more resilient digital economy.

“Our approach combines people, technology, and local understanding. We are not just solving customer challenges, we are building trust in Nigeria’s digital economy by showing that reliability, innovation, and opportunity can coexist,” Akinola added.

The Abuja LiveOps Hub plays a key role in Glovo’s long-term vision: setting new standards for customer experience, operational excellence, and localized innovation across Africa. Through this investment, Glovo reaffirms its commitment to defining what exceptional service looks like in the fast-evolving Quick-Commerce sector.

By early 2025, the company, with a goal to place one million e-bicycles on African roads by 2030, had dismissed most of its 50 employees across departments. 

Internal documents sent to staff in February cited “a substantial decline in revenue, extremely high cost of operations, an unsustainable employee wage bill, and restructuring of the business to adopt a leaner, more efficient structure.”

Barely 10 employees remained after the first round of layoffs, but they too left by mid-year. “We understand that this news is difficult, and we share in the sadness of having to take these steps,” the company wrote in its redundancy notice. 

“Please know that we are doing everything we can to minimize the impact of these layoffs, and that the decision is driven solely by the need to ensure the company’s sustainability in the face of the current economic climate.”

This reveals a challenge in Kenya’s e-mobility market, where delivery riders and commuters are opting for electric motorbikes instead of bicycles. Riders point to cost and power. 

eBee’s eBX model, priced at KES 99,999 ($774) or about KES 9,500 ($74) per month on lease, remains far out of reach for the very workers it targeted, such as boda boda operators. Even with financing options, demand never picked up.

The company’s problems increased when the Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled against it in February 2025 in a dispute with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). eBee had declared its imports as parts for local assembly, which would attract a 10% duty, but regulators disagreed. 

The tribunal ruled the shipments were fully built electric bicycles, subjecting them to a 25% import duty, 16% VAT, and an excise duty of KES 10,520 per unit. The decision left eBee with an additional tax bill of KES 2.78 million ($20,857).

The ruling stressed that the motor, not the battery, is the key defining part of an electric bicycle. eBee’s claim that sourcing batteries locally qualified its products as “assembled in Kenya” was dismissed. 

Industry watchers warn the case could set a precedent for other electric mobility firms, including BasiGo, Ampersand, and Spiro, which also rely on importing parts.

eBee, however, says it is not shutting down. In a written statement, the startup said it “remains operational and focused on serving customers and partners” while maintaining warranty and after-sales services. It also noted a “renewed strategy to strengthen commercial traction and ensure sustainable growth,” but gave no details on which locations were being merged or what form the strategy would take.

Founded in 2021 by Sten Van Der Ham, Jaap Maljers, Isidoor Maljers, and Joost Boeles, eBee built its brand on assembling and leasing e-bikes for courier companies such as Jumia, Glovo, and Bolt. 

The startup also expanded into Uganda and Rwanda through partnerships. Models like the Nyuki cargo bike, retailing at KES 119,999, were marketed for last-mile delivery.

But the timing worked against it. Kenya’s EV adoption remains weak. By mid-2025, only 671 electric vehicles were officially registered, nearly half of them motorcycles. A report by ALN Kenya has already called for clearer tax guidelines, incentives, and stronger public-private partnerships to prevent more startups from folding under regulatory and financial pressure.

Leadership changes have added more tension. In March, CEO and co-founder Sten Van Der Ham resigned, weeks after the company lost its tax dispute. His departure revealed the fragility of a business once seen as a pioneer in Africa’s clean mobility revolution.

The event, held at the Wells Carlton Hotel in Abuja on Thursday, 22nd September 2022, had the General Manager of the Courier and Logistics Regulatory Department of NIPOST and the representatives of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission and the Drivers Training Institute of the Vehicle Inspection Office Abuja, as well as a host of key stakeholders within the Glovo ecosystem across Nigeria in attendance.  

The event presented an opportunity for Glovo to host and honour its partners and stakeholders for their contributions to the growth of the business in the past year. Guests were taken down the memory lane of Glovo’s business operations and key highlights of some achievements to date, including a robust expansion across key cities in Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja & Ibadan), with a vision to expand to other cities in the coming years. 

The event’s highlight was the couriers’ training held in collaboration with GIZ (German Agency for International Cooperation GmbH – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH) under the VET Toolbox Initiative on professionalizing the skills development of delivery riders in Nigeria. Through this partnership, Glovo aims to improve the technical and soft skills of at least 300 riders collaborating with the Glovoapp.

“We are excited and honored to celebrate the first year of Glovo in Nigeria,” said Lorenzo Mayol, General Manager for Glovo Nigeria. “We owe our success stories to our partners for their unwavering hard work and contributions, our users for their consistent loyalty, trust and support, and the couriers who collaborate with our platform. Nigeria is a key market for us due to its high and untapped potential and rapid growth, and the partnerships we have built so far have become a metaphor for endless possibilities. We remain committed to delivering value to our users, the community, and the country’s economy for years to come.”

Also speaking, Tokunbo Ibrahim, Public Affairs Manager, Sub-Saharan Africa for Glovo said, “At Glovo, we are committed to our entire ecosystem of partners, couriers and users. Our success driver so far is our culture of accountability as a company and how we leverage the strengths and capabilities of our workforce and partners to ensure quality and timely service delivery. Since commencing operations in Nigeria, we have signed over 3,000 partners with over 97% being small and medium enterprises, onboarded and trained more than 2,000 couriers, and have invested in local talent that drives Glovo’s growth in this market. We will continue to work closely with our users and the wider community to ensure we deliver value by creating economic opportunities for all our stakeholders.”

In his remarks at the event, the General Manager for the Courier and Logistics Regulatory Department of NIPOST, Mr Gideon Shonde commended Glovo for its efforts in upskilling couriers and stated that among the over 500 licensed operators in Nigeria, what Glovo has achieved in its one year of operations is laudable particularly as it relates to investment in the training of couriers.

Over the past year of its journey in Nigeria, Glovo has partnered with local and international chains such as Chicken Republic and KFC, also offering over 600 pharmacy products from leading chains such as HealthPlus and MedPlus. In addition, the company provides courier services for B2B and has launched its first micro-fulfillment center, a supermarket that offers affordable groceries to users called Glovo Bargains. Prices are up to 30% cheaper than competitors.

To conclude celebrations, an evening cocktail event/reception was also hosted by Glovo to toast to more years of contributing to the growth of the Nigerian quick commerce sector.

This was disclosed by Lamide Akinola, general manager, Glovo Nigeria, during the 2025 Future of Commerce Summit held in Lagos.

The event brought together restaurant operators, policymakers, ecosystem leaders, fintech pioneers, and investors to explore the evolving e-commerce landscape in Nigeria.

Akinola stated that since its launch in Nigeria in 2017, Glovo has invested over €200 million in building and optimising its delivery infrastructure across Africa.

The platform currently partners with over 6,000 restaurants and retail outlets, supported by a network of over 2,400 active delivery riders.

She noted that quick commerce recorded remarkable growth in 2024, becoming the fastest-growing segment with a 76% increase, highlighting Glovo’s pivotal role in accelerating digital retail adoption.

Akinola further pointed to a significant shift in user transaction preferences. Cash payments dropped from 88% of all orders in 2021 to just 39% today, a 55% decline, aligning with the federal government’s push for a cashless economy.

“This shift aligns with the government’s effort to promote a cashless economy and highlights Glovo’s contribution to advancing financial inclusion in Nigeria.

“As we look ahead, our focus remains on enabling restaurant partners and shops to scale through data, logistics, and financial inclusion.”

Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, Lagos state commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade, and Investment, reiterated the state’s focus on supporting innovative platforms like Glovo.

She described Lagos’ future as people-centered, digital, and inclusive, noting various ongoing government programs and strategic collaborations designed to support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

Through this partnership, Salad Africa will power a first-of-its-kind SME financing program designed to provide eligible Glovo partners with access to working capital – at better rates and more accessible terms than traditional banks.

The goal is to help businesses scale faster, launch new products, and drive increased revenue – all within the Glovo ecosystem.

Qualified partners on the Glovo platform will be able to apply for loans ranging from ₦50,000 to over ₦100 million, with eligibility and credit decisions powered by real-time sales data from the Glovo app.

To qualify, merchants must have been active on Glovo for at least three months and meet the set performance and operational criteria.

This data-driven approach ensures faster, fairer, and more accurate lending decisions.

Once eligible partners are identified, they will receive a notification with Know Your Business (KYB) requirements and application steps.

Upon KYB completion and approval, funds will be disbursed directly, with repayments made seamlessly as a percentage of future sales; processed entirely through the Glovo platform.

Unlike standard financial institutions, this initiative offers loans without the need for collateral, using real-time sales data from the Glovo app to assess eligibility and creditworthiness.

This program falls under the umbrella of Glovo Local, Glovo’s global program dedicated to empowering small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to thrive in the digital economy.

Through Glovo Local, SMEs who make up 90% of shops and restaurants on the Glovo app across 23 countries, get access to tools and support such as marketing, order management, visibility on the platform, training, and seamless financial support.

As the first industry player in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia to support SMEs in this way, Glovo is driving growth, catalyzing local economies, and promoting sustainable, inclusive businesses.

The partnership between Glovo and Salad Africa represents a major step forward in supporting small businesses with the resources they need to grow sustainably and efficiently.

Commenting on the partnership, Kolawole Adeniyi, head of Commercial, Glovo Nigeria said,

“At Glovo, we’re constantly looking for ways to empower our partners and support their growth journeys. Through this initiative, we’re providing access to much-needed working capital directly within our ecosystem, making it easier and faster for our partners to scale. This partnership with Salad Africa is a game-changer—it ensures our merchants can unlock new opportunities without traditional barriers.”

Chikodi Ukaiwe, chief executive officer at Salad Africa said,

“Supporting local businesses is at the heart of everything we do at Salad, so we’re thrilled to partner with Glovo to provide small and medium sized restaurants with fast, fit for purpose financing to meet growing demand and scale their operations. Embedded finance is unlocking new channels of credit that simply weren’t available before, and we’re proud to be making access to capital more seamless and timely for Glovo’s network of restaurants.”

Glovo is currently the only player in the industry offering this type of financing to SMEs, reinforcing its commitment to being a growth partner for local businesses.

By removing the common roadblocks SMEs face in accessing traditional finance, Glovo and Salad Africa are driving financial inclusion, catalyzing local economies, and supporting the digital transition of businesses across Nigeria.

Since inception, Salad Africa has recorded $1.5M in credit unlocked value and helped about 1,500 SMEs to scale their business operations sustainably.

Salad is on a mission to make financing more accessible for SMBs in Africa.

These platforms usually boast an extensive catalogue of products and the lowest of prices. At first glance, this seems like a win for the average consumer, especially with the current rise in inflation, but beneath the surface, these digital platforms pose a serious threat to our economy, local businesses, and long-term economic sustainability.

The sudden influx of these platforms is somewhat suspicious especially as they do not have any offices/representation in the country.

This means aside from collecting money from Nigerians, they have no substantial contribution to the economy via taxes, job creation etc.

The growing trend of these companies expanding into new markets, especially in developing nations like ours, as existing ones become less accessible, is concerning.

For instance, Temu‘s entry into Nigeria aligned with mounting challenges faced by its parent company, PDD Holdings, in international markets.

Vietnam issued a threat to ban the platform until it registers with local authorities. The app was also removed from major stores in Indonesia to protect domestic retailers.

Additionally, the company has faced lawsuits for violating customer privacy, allegedly using its e-commerce platform to acquire and sell user data.

Another lawsuit was issued against the company for sending marketing texts to people on the National Do Not Call list.

With all of these, one could conclude that the company is only trying to move to more lenient markets like Nigeria where they can be less accountable, and they would be right.

After all, unlike homegrown platforms such as Jumia, Konga, and Glovo, which invest in local supply chains, create jobs, and contribute taxes, companies like Temu operate with minimal local engagement.

So, what are the results of the infiltration of these foreign e-commerce platforms in Nigeria?

The Silent Strangulation of Nigerian SMEs

From rising production costs to unpredictable government policies, running a business in this economy is already a Herculean task.

The infiltration of the market with these ultra-cheap imports, often of questionable quality marketed by these platforms means that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are already struggling with profitability, will bear the brunt.

Local businesses will not be able to compete with products priced far below market rates, especially when those prices are backed by massive tariffs.

The result? Shrinking profit margins, declining local production, and, ultimately, job losses. The irony is painful. While we celebrate the convenience of these platforms, we might, in fact, be funding the slow death of our own economy.

Hidden Cost of Cheap Deals: A Digital Economy That Doesn’t Benefit Nigerians

The Nigerian government has been vocal about its push for a digital economy, but what good is it if the wealth it generates never stays within our borders?

Non-resident e-commerce platforms enjoy free rein, making money off Nigerians without contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s economy; isn’t that a major hidden cost of cheap deals?

This leaves the government with fewer resources to invest in infrastructure, social services, and local business support.

Meanwhile, resident e-commerce companies like Konga, Glovo, and Jumia, despite facing their own challenges, play by the rules.

They hire Nigerians, collaborate with local vendors, and pay taxes. These companies understand the nuances of our economy and strive to work within its realities, rather than exploit them.

The Case for Protecting the economy

Other nations fiercely protect their local industries. Why should Nigeria be any different?

We must rethink our policies to ensure that companies benefiting from Nigerian consumers also contribute to Nigeria’s economy.

This includes enforcing fair taxation on digital commerce, strengthening local manufacturing, and incentivizing consumers to support homegrown businesses to achieve long-term economic sustainability.

This groundbreaking initiative aims to equip 100 women with essential digital skills to excel in the dynamic tech industry by providing fully funded scholarships for the bootcamp.

Glovo’s Commitment to Driving Gender Equality in Tech

Glovo is deeply committed to reducing the gender tech gap as part of its long-term strategy to create equal opportunities for women in the tech industry.

By actively developing and leading initiatives like this Women in Tech Bootcamp, through strategic collaborations with She Code Africa and Government stakeholders, Glovo is working to empower women with the technical skills, mentorship, and professional development needed to succeed in the digital space.

These bootcamps are a key part of Glovo’s global mission to drive gender equality and create a more diverse and innovative tech ecosystem.

This initiative builds on Glovo’s broader efforts across various countries, including Spain, Ghana, and Morocco where similar programs have been implemented to address the gender imbalance in tech.

In Spain and Ghana, over 100 women have benefited from hands-on training, access to industry mentors, and career placement opportunities whilst Morocco is set to kickoff in November as well.

The tangible impact of these initiatives reinforces Glovo’s commitment to creating long-term change in the tech industry and fostering an inclusive digital economy.

“At Glovo, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce,” said Lamide Akinola, General Manager of Glovo Nigeria. “By creating opportunities like this bootcamp, we aim to unlock a wealth of untapped talent and drive long-term change in the tech ecosystem.”

Collaborating with Lagos State Government for Inclusive Economic Growth

“We are excited to partner with Glovo and She Code Africa to deliver a program that empowers women to excel, innovate, and lead in the dynamic tech industry,” said Mrs. Folashade Ambrose-Medebem. “This initiative aligns with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ Development Agenda, particularly its Fourth Pillar, which emphasizes ‘Making Lagos State a 21st Century Economy.’ The program is committed to driving inclusive economic growth by empowering underrepresented groups, especially women, to seize opportunities in the tech sector.

“The United Nations Sustainable Development Report 2023 predicts it will take 300 years to close the gender equality gap, yet McKinsey 2022 reports that empowering women globally could add $28 trillion to the global GDP. This partnership shows that women’s empowerment is not just a social imperative but a critical economic driver.

“I am also pleased to announce we are bringing onboard the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, led by Dr. Tubuson, to further bolster this initiative. This strategic partnership reinforces Lagos’s commitment to leveraging technology for women’s empowerment, driving economic growth, and positioning Lagos as a hub of technological advancement and inclusive development. By equipping women with critical digital skills, we are building more diverse leadership in tech and positioning Lagos as a hub of innovation and enterprise. I am also pleased to see this initiative contribute to the long-term prosperity of our state.”

Building a Strong Tech Ecosystem

“This impact-driven initiative spearheaded by Glovo is set to provide women with the skills and support needed to succeed in the tech industry,” said Chidera Akwuba, regional head government and public relations, Sub-Saharan Africa at Glovo. “This initiative underscores Glovo’s long-term commitment to fostering innovation and inclusive development in Nigeria.”

The bootcamp will also offer networking opportunities, mentorship, and insights from seasoned professionals, empowering women to lead in the tech space and contribute to Lagos and Nigeria’s economic growth.
