IN THE NEXT 5 YEAR YEARS SOFT DROP IS ESTIMATED TO BE CREATING 10 – 20 MILLION JOBS IN NIGERIA.

Softdrop is a logistics app that enables users across Nigeria to move goods from one location to another as long as that destination is their destination. For example, someone who lives in Lekki and works in Ikeja, can open the app and check whether someone wants to deliver something to Ikeja, pick it up and drop it off at Ikeja on his way to work and get paid for doing it. This innovative idea has the potential to create millions of jobs in Nigeria in the next five years. How?

“Softdrop reduces the cost and hassle of transporting goods across the country”

First, Softdrop reduces the cost and hassle of transporting goods across the country. Instead of hiring expensive courier services or relying on unreliable public transport, users can simply find someone who is going to the same place and entrust them with their delivery. This saves time, money and energy for both the sender and the receiver.

Second, Soft drop creates opportunities for anyone who is transporting themselves from one location to another and has a smartphone to earn extra income by delivering goods for others. Whether they are students, workers, drivers or homemakers, they can use their spare time and space to make money while helping others. This also boosts their social network and reputation as reliable and trustworthy service providers.

“Softdrop encourages more people to buy and sell online”

Third, Soft drop stimulates the growth of e-commerce and local businesses in Nigeria. By making delivery more accessible and affordable, Softdrop encourages more people to buy and sell online, especially in rural areas where delivery options are limited. This creates more demand and supply for various products and services, which in turn generates more revenue and employment for entrepreneurs and small businesses.

According to a recent study by McKinsey, technology could create 10 to 20 million jobs in Nigeria by 2029, accounting for 10 to 20 per cent of the country’s GDP. This would have a significant impact on reducing poverty, improving living standards and fostering social inclusion in Nigeria. Softdrop is not just an app, it is a movement that empowers Nigerians to take charge of their destiny.
