Apart from the expansion drive of the e-commerce company, the Nigerian government has mandated all foreign tech platforms operating in Nigeria to establish a Nigerian office.

The government also mandated the tech platforms to employ country representatives or managers that can interface with the government.

They will also pay tax and abide by regulations set up by Nigeria.

This is following the development which saw Nigeria banning micro-blogging site, Twitter, from operating in the country.

Although Nigeria later lifted the ban on Twitter, it was not without the two parties reaching an agreement.

Among the terms of agreement are the requirements for operating in Nigeria which the government  released for all tech platforms in the country.

Implications:

One of the many implications of this is that Amazon will compete with other local e-commerce platforms for the Nigerian market.

For instance, Konga and Jumia will now have a tough rival to beat.

Meanwhile, the availability of many e-commerce platforms will provide Nigerians with more options to buy and sell.

Likewise, with Amazon hiring many Nigerians, it will contribute to reducing the unemployment rate in Nigeria.
