The partnership will see L’Oréal leverage the wide reach, speedy delivery, massive technology and other cutting-edge infrastructure at the disposal of KongaHealth to reach under-reached and unreached valuable customers nationwide – a development that would expectedly fast track the market entry and positioning of the L’Oréal range among key value-adding resellers across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria.
