Lagos-based on-demand delivery platform Chowdeck has hit 1 million monthly orders for meals and everyday essentials in Nigeria for the month of October 2025.
The milestone was announced in an X post by the company’s CEO and co-founder, Femi Aluko, on Monday.
He noted that daily order volumes in Nigeria have increased from an average of about 30,000 daily orders a few weeks ago to over 40,000 currently, with numbers continuing to rise.
“I am super pumped to share that last month, @chowdeck hit over 1 million orders in Nigeria in a single month,” Aluko’s post read in part.
It added, “Our daily order volumes in Nigeria has grown from an average of ~30K daily orders a few weeks ago to over 40K daily orders presently and still increasing day on day.”
Chowdeck said it is the first African on-demand delivery platform to reach this level of monthly orders. The company currently serves about 1.5 million users and works with over 20,000 riders across both countries.
The milestone follows the company’s $9 million Series A funding in August 2025, intended to support the company’s quick-commerce expansion and improve operational efficiency across West Africa.
