Konga, the Nigerian e-commerce company, and tier-1 lender, Access Bank, through a partnership are offering free delivery of essential and quality food items to needy Nigerians across the country during the 2021 edition of Konga Yakata.
In a statement made available to Business A.M., the company said interested and public-spirited Nigerians at home and in the diaspora can purchase these food items via the Konga website/stores and donate to friends, families, the less privileged and communities of their choice while Konga delivers them to the last mile beneficiaries across the country for free.
In addition, the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative will be supported by Access Bank, which will offer 10 percent discount to Konga shoppers purchasing gift bundles of food items for donation to the needy under the Konga Kares programme, as well as shoppers on Konga Yakata who pay for purchases using their Access debit cards.
The Konga Yakata, widely regarded as Nigeria’s biggest sale of the year, is a 30-day programme that will go live on Thursday, November 12 and end on Sunday, December 12, 2021.
This year’s edition tagged, “Konga Yakata Plus”, is set to run across the various platforms in the Konga Group, including online, offline or physical stores across Nigeria.
It also includes discounted flights tickets and hotel bookings to various locations around the world via Konga Travels and Tours, as well as huge deals on KongaPay, its Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)-licensed fintech subsidiary.
