“The Yudala model – a fusion of online and offline retail – is one that has captured the imagination of people and the retail market. Right from the day the company was launched, there has been a huge reaction in the market place, in view of the novel idea behind its conception. When the discussions on YUBOSS commenced between both organizations, I was excited because this is an initiative that is set to empower millions of Nigerian youths and by extension, contribute to the growth and development of the Nigerian economy. I am not in doubt that this scheme will be a huge success, especially considering Yudala’s nationwide network of stores, the calibre of renowned entrepreneurs and investors backing Yudala and the drive and expertise exhibited by the entire team.”

Instructively, YUBOSS is targeted at smart Nigerians: undergraduates, post-graduate students, unemployed and under-employed individuals, housewives etc. who have the drive and ambition to earn money and be their own bosses.
