Excitement as Taskdirect Holds 1st Digital Products Auction

The much awaited launch of the Digital Products Auction of Nigeria’s newest online and retail digital giant, Taskdirect got off to a great start as hundreds of Nigerians thronged their smart shops nationwide to partake in the world’s first device auction tagged “Digital Democracy”. 

The event which held on Tuesday January 28, 2014 will hold again on Tuesday February 4 and each Tuesday thereafter.

Every auction will have a surprising new mix of 25, 000 units of the latest smart devices including laptops, desktop computers, printers, scanners, tablets and consumables which would be up for auction.

According to Uche Nnadozie,  corporate communications adviser of Taskdirect, “the intention is to equip the next 80 million Nigerians through original digital devices with global warranty”.

 Many excited Nigerians used the online platform to participate in the program. Few minutes into the auction which began at 7.00 am, a banker and Lagos resident, Mr. Abiodun Adigun had ordered and paid for a Lenovo tablet through Taskdirect’s website.

Other customers who visited the various smart shops around Nigeria showed enthusiasm towards the idea of the auction and picked up devices of their choice at great prices.

At the various locations in Asaba, Port Harcourt, Victoria Island, Abuja, Kano, Uyo and Enugu the turn out was impressive.

 Reports reveal that customers were excited by the opportunity that Digital Democracy gave them to purchase smart devices at incredible prices.

Explaining to customers on how the “Digital Tuesday” works, Nnadozie stated that “customers could purchase a maximum of two devices per order”.

However, for quantities of more than two on the Digital Democracy Day customers were advised to contact Taskdirect directly at auction@taskdirect.com for approval to buy but not at the reserved prices.

 On all other days, the smart shops around the country and the online store will continue to sell devices.

“Nigerians who have been waiting for a great choice of smart devices can be rest assured that Taskdirect is here to serve them. We will fulfill all their needs at the right price and with great service. As fellow Nigerians, we will not relent until we meet the yearnings of all our people who have been groaning for affordable smart devices”, the statement concluded.
