Gokada Launches Super App, Plans Expansion Into Other Nigerian Cities

Gokada announced it has launched a 'Super App' where customers can access food delivery, e-commerce, and ride-hailing services on one platform.

The Super App launch comes as Gokada crosses over $100 million in annualized transaction value, having completed more than 1 million food delivery and e-commerce orders on behalf of over 30,000 merchants in the last 12 months alone.

With increasing internet penetration and ease of mobile payments, Growth at the company is accelerating, as Gokada has grown its volume and rapidly expanded its suite of offerings to eCommerce, online grocery, healthcare, and others.

Gokada is looking to serve this growing market with expansions from its current base in Lagos, across multiple cities in Nigeria, including Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, and Ogun. Gokada plans to leverage its recent NIPOST license for cross-country courier and logistics services as it expands across the country.

Speaking on the development of the Gokada Super App, Nikhil Goel, CEO of Gokada, said, “The eCommerce and delivery market in Nigeria is growing at an exponential rate and will be worth over US$20 billion in the next few years. I experienced the same kind of growth in India when I was with Zomato. Much like in India and our counterparts in other emerging markets, Gokada is building a transport infrastructure from the bottom up, using well-trained riders powered by technology to connect businesses large and small with a consumer base in its millions. This launch is core to our objective of positioning Gokada at the center of Nigeria’s e-commerce and delivery revolution”.

As the company expands its service offering, by providing a reliable and seamless same-day delivery service for thousands of more businesses across Nigeria, the Gokada Super App, available on Android and iOS, has been developed so customers will have enhanced discovery of key services and products, can access all Gokada pilots at the touch of a button, rate the service instantly and choose single or multi-point deliveries.
