Commenting on the significance of the Mobile Week in expanding mobile phone usage and accessibility in Ghana, Ore Odusanya, the Country Manager of Jumia Ghana says “Communication has become a critical part of our society to the extent that virtually everyone in the society needs to have a mobile phone as a matter of necessity.” “Without the mobile phone, one is trapped in a communication vacuum and is unable to connect with loved ones and friends” Ore reiterates. “The Jumia Mobile week is thus an opportunity for everyone to have the chance to purchase a phone with as little budget as possible” he concludes.

Thousands of mobile phones and accessories are expected to be sold as prices of most phones are expected to be reduced by as high as 80 percent.
