An online e-commerce platform,
OFFERSERVICE, has been unveiled in Lagos,
to provide opportunities for corporations,
businessmen, artisans and professionals to
showcase and promote their products and services
without any charge.
According to the Managing Director, Mr Tony
Uzoma Emmanuel, the aim is to bridge the gap in
terms of services rendered by those with relevant
skills sets, to create that enabling environment
where service providers will be able to connect to
those who need those services, without too much
stress.
Emmanuel hinted that with the intended
community space being created, about five million
people are expected to have been registered by the
end of the first quarter of this year. This, he stated,
could only be mutually beneficial to everyone
involved in the process.

the platforms allows prospective clients to register
their brands, upload relevant images, including
opportunities for potential buyers to make
payment online in the specified currency.
Speaking during the launch of the product,
the MD said, already, about 5,000 businesses
have been registered on the platform, through the
efforts of staff who collect data daily and hopes to
get to five million businesses by the end of the first
quarter.
“Offerservice is a United States and Nigerian
registered online catalogue/e-commerce/events/
job search & social media organisation with a
geolocation attribute that helps to connect users
to their target market/audience at state, federal or
global level.
“Registered users can showcase their services,
list their merchandise and personalise their page
free of charge,” he said, adding that Offerservice
has been in operation since September 2020 but
that the wealth of experience of its management
team within the IT-sphere spans well over three
decades.
He explained that in months to come,
OFFERSERVICE anticipates covering the
geopolitical regions in Nigeria, to beam light on
the under-privileged and professionals, who are
desirous to create awareness for their business.
He speaks on the benefits of the platform:
“It creates a symbiotic community market for
individuals who are keen to render service and
for those who require immediate service without
hassles. With this platform in full use, it will
naturally reduce the level of traffic on the roads of
Nigeria and other countries in the world.
“This platform cuts out the middleman
approach that tries to rip people off. It also helps to
project registered users to potential buyers in their
state, federal or across the globe. It helps people
in the Diaspora make vivid decisions regarding
business transactions they want to get involved
in. It indirectly reduces unemployment in every
society because it helps people to look inwards
and find innate skill-sets that have been dormant
thereby giving them opportunities to activate and
make a profit from them.
“Finally, it helps to reduce stress. At your
fingertips, you can engage your immediate society
and the world at large.”
He explained that the organization does not
derive commissions from any transaction that
takes place on our platform by any registered user
and does not intend to do so in the nearest future.
“We will persistently advertise their businesses
on all the media outlets so they don’t have to worry
about how people will reach them. They will be
seen and patronized within the online community
that we are fast creating. They could report any
uncouth attitude that tries to jeopardise their
transactions through any of our contact quarters
and if the business or individual is found culpable,
we reserve the rights to delist them,” he assured.
