Glovo, the global on-demand delivery platform, has appointed Reni Onafeko as its new Country Managing Director for Nigeria, replacing Lamide Akinola, who stepped down after more than three years in the role.
Onafeko, who has steered Glovo’s Nigerian operations since the beginning of 2026, will now lead its next phase and growth strategy, including expansion across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Ibadan, the company said in a statement.
Her appointment comes as Glovo continues to expand in Nigeria, which it says closed 2025 as its fastest-growing market globally. At its Future of Commerce summit in April, the company disclosed that it delivered 38 million items in the country over the past year.
“My experience across strategy, finance and growth has given me a strong understanding of our business and opportunities within the market,” Onafeko said. “I look forward to working with our teams, partners and wider ecosystem to build on what we have achieved and deliver sustainable growth in the years ahead.”
