African E-commerce Firm Jumia Announces Expansion of Inland Logistics Network in Nigeria

On April 10, African e-commerce platform Jumia announced plans to significantly expand its logistics and pickup network in Nigeria by the first quarter of 2026. The company will shift its investment focus away from traditional core cities to previously long-neglected inland regions, aiming to fill service gaps in high-potential areas. According to the plan, Jumia's expansion will prioritize coverage of Kebbi State, Sokoto State, and Kaduna State in northern Nigeria, while also enhancing delivery density in strategic cities such as Zaria.
