Samsung Galaxy Note7 not Officially Launched in Nigeria

Mr. Zain Mamudu, official of Samsung Electronic West Africa, has said that the Samsung Galaxy Note7 has not been officially introduced into the Nigerian market.

Mamudu, who is manager, Samsung Customer Service Centre in Abuja told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was slated to be introduced in the country in October.

It would be recalled that the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) issued a directive that the company should recall the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 within seven days.

This development followed worldwide reports of dozens of the phone exploding while being charged due to fault in the battery.

However, a statement from the Samsung Electronics West Africa Ltd., which earlier announced the postponement of the launch said that the device was isolated due to battery cell problems.

“Although the Galaxy Note7 has not been released in Nigeria, the current Galaxy Note7 users are kindly advised to visit the nearest Samsung Authorized Service Centre for immediate assistance about replacement programme.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience this may have caused in the market, but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to Samsung customers.

“Samsung is completely committed to fixing this problem and ensuring the highest level of safety and satisfaction for its customers,” Samsung said.
