In a move that is becoming quite a familiar trend in Nigeria’s ecommerce sector, one of the country’s major ecommerce platforms, Konga.com, is reportedly firing about 10% of its workforce in a restructuring move.
The layoffs, according to TechCabal, will run across the entire company with hopes of reaping operational efficiency and business effectiveness.
Confirming the development, a Konga rep said the move was necessary in addition to embracing new innovations.
“With this restructuring and by taking advantage of new innovations and upcoming retail opportunities in the market space, we are optimistic that we are on the path to grow an even healthier and more sustainable business, whilst delivering best in class service to our customers. The decision to restructure and realign our company’s focus to be more agile in the prevailing local economic conditions is not one that was taken lightly,” the rep said.
