Easybuy to empower 10,000 Nigerians to deepen financial inclusion
A smartphone and electronics financing provider, Easybuy, plans to recruit no fewer than 10,000 new business developers across Nigeria through its “Easybuy Sales Talent Programme”.
Easybuy is a provider under Newedge Finance Ltd.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Newedge, Ms Jessica Ugwuoke, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos.
Ugwuoke said that the initiative, set to run through 2026, aimed at accelerating job creation and deepen financial inclusion.
“Easybuy Sales Talent Programme is a revolving initiative designed to unlock income opportunities for thousands of talented Nigerians, from sales professionals and young graduates to stay-at-home mothers, POS operators, and SIM registration agents.
“The programme offers participants a structured monthly base pay alongside the potential to earn hundreds of thousands, and even one million Naira in commissions, while working from the comfort of their mobile phones,” she said.
According to Ugwuoke, selected applicants of the Easybuy Sales Talent Programme will be empowered with training and the opportunity to become financially independent.
“This win-win partnership with Nigerians, on whose support we’ve come this far, reflects our continuous investment in people,” she said.
Ugwuoke reiterated that the programme was positioned as a strategic response to Nigeria’s unemployment challenge, and targeted the country’s young population.
“According to the National Bureau of Statistics, youth unemployment stood at 6.5 per cent among Nigerians aged 15 to 24 years in Q2 2024; a figure analysts expect to remain a pressing concern into 2026.
“By creating structured earning pathways, Easybuy is aligning commercial expansion with measurable social impact, thereby setting a new benchmark for corporate social responsibility in emerging markets,” she said.
The CEO said that beyond creating income opportunities for Nigerians, the programme was structured to drive measurable economic impact.
She noted that it also aimed to boost household earnings, expand consumer spending and strengthen micro-entrepreneurship nationwide.
“As Nigeria’s unemployment rate is forecasted by Trading Economics to hover between 4.8 per cent and 5.0 per cent through 2027–2028, this initiative positions Easybuy, not just as a market leader, but as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth,” she said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Easybuy is an African smartphone and electronics financing provider, delivering “Buy Now, Pay Later” solutions that expand access to essential devices.
