Determined to Lower Travel Costs

A New Era of Travel for Nigerians

A Nigerian travel lottery company, Deworld Mega Travel, has introduced an innovative initiative aimed at making international travel accessible to all Nigerians, regardless of their financial status. The firm is planning to invest over N63 million this year to fund trips for 18 Nigerians to South Africa, continuing its efforts from last year when it invested over N60 million to enable 19 Nigerians to travel to Qatar.

The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Chioma Obinna, explained that the platform's primary goal is to eliminate financial barriers and visa challenges that often prevent many Nigerians from traveling abroad. She emphasized that the initiative is designed to show that travel is not solely a privilege for the wealthy.

“There are three categories of people in Nigeria: those who believe Nigeria is their final destination, global citizens, and those who want to travel but lack the means. We are here to prove that travel is not only for the rich. Many Nigerians dream of seeing the world, but the high costs and complex processes often stand in the way.”

Obinna highlighted that the platform offers real opportunities for Nigerians, no matter their income level. “With as little as N1,000, people now have a real chance to win life-changing opportunities; from international trips to cash prizes, food, and even home appliances.”

She also provided insights into the varying costs associated with different destinations. “The cost differs when we are travelling to a different country. When we are going to the UK, the cost of travel per person will be N5m because we’re spending pounds. When we travelled to Doha, the cost was N3.2m per person. We are committed to this project for the long haul. We are here to stay.”

Digital Innovation for Broader Reach

Meanwhile, the project manager, Kehinde Olagbenjo, emphasized the importance of the company’s fully digital, secure, and transparent system. This approach allows the platform to reach more Nigerians nationwide, ensuring that the benefits of the initiative are accessible to a wider audience.

“Our fully digital platform is designed to be secure and transparent, enabling us to reach Nigerians across the entire country with ease,” he said.

This initiative represents a significant shift in how travel is perceived and accessed in Nigeria. By leveraging technology and creating a fair and inclusive system, Deworld Mega Travel is setting a new standard for accessibility in international travel.

Expanding Opportunities for All

The company's efforts go beyond just offering travel opportunities. It is also focused on providing various rewards that can significantly impact the lives of participants. From cash prizes to household appliances, the initiative aims to offer tangible benefits that extend beyond the journey itself.

Obinna further explained that the company's long-term vision includes continuous investment in similar projects, ensuring that more Nigerians can experience the world without the constraints of financial limitations. This commitment reflects a broader mission to empower individuals and foster a sense of global citizenship among Nigerians.

As the company continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to its core values of inclusivity, transparency, and innovation. By breaking down traditional barriers to travel, Deworld Mega Travel is paving the way for a future where international travel is a reality for all, regardless of background or economic status.

Through its unique approach, the company is not only changing the landscape of travel in Nigeria but also inspiring a new generation of global citizens who are eager to explore the world and embrace new experiences.
