A powerful wave of Nigerian delivery companies is solving Africa’s logistics headaches: fragmented routes, unreliable last-mile delivery, and broken food supply chains.
Here are five homegrown firms leading the charge, each solving a different piece of the puzzle.
1. Chowdeck
Chowdeck has rapidly become one of the most formidable Nigerian delivery companies expanding beyond borders. Founded in 2021 by Femi Aluko, Olumide Ojo, and Lanre Yusuf, the platform now operates across 11 cities in Nigeria and Ghana, serving 1.5 million customers through over 20,000 riders. In August 2025, Chowdeck raised $9 million in Series A funding led by Novastar Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator. The company plans to open 500 dark stores by the end of 2026 while maintaining an average delivery time of 30 minutes.

2. Glovo
Though originally Spanish, Glovo’s Nigerian operations have become a continental powerhouse. Since launching in Nigeria in 2021, Glovo has generated ₦71 billion (approximately $42 million) in revenue for over 6,000 local vendors. The company now operates in 11 Nigerian cities with 2,400 riders earning two to three times the national minimum wage. Glovo moved its regional customer support hub from Kenya to Abuja, inaugurating a LiveOps hub featuring over 100 trained professionals with a 90% success rate in responding to customer inquiries within 30 seconds.

3. Jumia
After shutting down Jumia Food in December 2023, the e-commerce giant pivoted strategically. In May 2025, Jumia expanded Jumia Delivery to Nigeria, a third-party logistics service allowing anyone to send packages nationwide using Jumia’s infrastructure. The network features 494 pickup stations across Nigeria, and orders from rural areas now account for 58 percent of total orders. Jumia spent $9.4 million on fulfillment in Q1 2025 and now seeks to convert that overhead into a new revenue stream.

4. iDeliver
Based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, iDeliver Fast Nigeria Limited is proof that Nigerian delivery companies can succeed by focusing on hyperlocal excellence.
Founded by Akingbade Kayode Emmanuel, who also personally developed the app, the platform offers on-demand delivery of food, groceries, documents, and gadgets within Uyo.
iDeliver distinguishes itself through real-time tracking that directly addresses Nigeria’s most painful delivery problems: lost packages and failed orders. Unlike ad hoc courier systems, iDeliver is designed from the ground up to handle Nigerian realities mixed with addressing, heavy mobile use, and cash payments. But iDeliver’s true strength lies in its community-rooted approach. The platform works closely with local stores in Uyo, helping them grow without the cost of running their own fleets. Through smart routing and trained riders, iDeliver offers same-day delivery with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. As the company states, “We’re more than just a delivery app; we’re your neighbors, your run-to errand service.”

5. PricePally
PricePally is fixing Nigeria’s broken food-supply chain. Founded in 2019, this foodtech platform directly connects farmers and wholesalers with consumers, eliminating middlemen who drive up prices. Nigeria loses approximately 40 percent of its annual food production, around 100 million tonnes, due to poor logistics. PricePally’s group-buying model tackles this head-on. Farmer Femi Banjo was offered just N6,000 for 10 kg of pepper through traditional channels; PricePally paid him nearly N30,000. The platform serves Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Ibadan.

These Nigerian delivery companies are capturing value from Africa’s $60 billion annual last-mile logistics market, solving real problems one delivery at a time.
