Oyoyo offers its users around the world access to a wide range of professional designers, tailors and weavers who are based in Nigeria. Another great benefit that users stand to gain when using Oyoyo is having their measurements digitally recorded and which helps tailors view their records on the go. The Oyoyo app which is set to revolutionize the Nigerian fashion industry is the brainchild of Catwalk Creatives Limited, a sister company of Lassod Consulting.
“This is an exciting time for Catwalk Creatives and Lassod as Oyoyo is the first of our products to launch in Nigeria. I feel very proud that an idea I had a couple of years ago is now coming to fruition. Using visual technology in a very accessible way as a digital marketplace, Oyoyo will showcase local talent on both the national and international stage.”
said Executive Chair, Lanre Sanni at the launch of Oyoyo.
Oyoyo is supported by a leadership team that is based in Nigeria and the UK, Lindsay Burham-Lowes, Chief Executive Officer and Faith Olaniran, Intern.
Mr. Sanni also disclosed,
“As most of the development has taken place over the past 12 months, the pandemic has proved that despite the distance of the teams, we all have a common goal to succeed. The impact Oyoyo will have on the fashion industry in Nigeria is substantial and opens up new opportunities which previously were impossible.”
“As well as building the core team, the company has recently undertaken a recruitment program implementing a digital marketing team and a business development team. The company is keen to extend this further and offers a comprehensive internship program to develop talent in the region.”
Lanre Sanni explained,
“It is our mission to create sustainable commercial opportunities through recruitment and technical innovation in Nigeria and the wider African continent. I know there is a wealth of talent and we have ambitious plans to utilize those skills.”
