OLX wins best online classifieds adverts website of the year two years in a row

Leading online classifieds site, OLX.com.ng, won the award for Online Classifieds Advert Website of the year for the second time in a row at the 8th edition of Beacon of Information & Communications Technology Awards (BoICT) which was held on Saturday, April 22, 2017 in Lagos.

While receiving the award on behalf of the company, Mayokun Fadeyibi, Business Development Manager,  OLX, thanked the organizers. “It’s really exciting for us to receive this award two years in a row and we are truly honoured to have emerged winners in this category.  I want to especially thank all OLX users for their patronage, loyalty and dedicate this award to them. I would also like to thank  the OLX team, as this recognition is a result of their hardwork and commitment to the business. ”

Fadeyibi, also added that OLX is constantly re-inventing the wheel to better serve OLX users.   “Last year, OLX revised the online classifieds model by launching a premium service named Do-It-For-Me (D.I.F.M). D.I.F.M helps busy executives sell their items quickly, safely and conveniently when they book an OLX Champ.  The OLX Champ is a sales expert who posts the ads, takes calls from buyers, negotiates for the right price and closes the deal”.

The Beacon of ICT Awards is an  annual ICT event recognizing organizations’ or individuals’ contributions to ICT development in Nigeria. The theme for this year’s award ceremony was “Empowering Youth Through Digital Citizenship”.  The ceremony had in attendance major players in the ecommerce industry across various sectors of the economy, who gathered to celebrate outstanding achievement in various categories.
