In a country where inflation and rising food prices continue to strain household budgets, Osusu is changing the way Nigerians prepare for the future.
Osusu is a layaway (“pay small small”) platform created by Pack’N’Pay International Limited to help individuals and organizations lock in the prices of food items they want to consume in the future. By allowing customers to pay in flexible installments and choose a preferred delivery date, Osusu removes the pressure of last-minute bulk spending—especially during high-demand seasons like Christmas.
From Internal Tool to Nationwide Platform
What started as an internal product built to support Pack’N’Pay’s customers quickly revealed a much larger opportunity. The need for a structured, transparent, and reliable layaway solution was evident across households and businesses alike.
In April 2025, Osusu officially launched its standalone mobile application—and the response was immediate.
Within months, the platform successfully delivered 300+ orders across multiple states in Nigeria, including Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja (FCT), Anambra, Delta, Port Harcourt, Imo, Calabar, and Edo, bringing Christmas food supplies to hundreds of homes and workplaces nationwide.
For many customers, this wasn’t just about food—it was about dignity, planning, and peace of mind.
Real Stories from Real Users
Osusu’s impact is best told through the voices of the people who used it.
Mrs. Tanko, a customer in Northern Nigeria, shared her experience after receiving her Christmas food items:
“This is the first time I’ve done a food contribution and didn’t feel cheated at the end. Everything I paid for was exactly what I received.”
For corporate users, Osusu proved to be an operational and financial relief.
Dr. Anwuli Akwukuma, Owner of Arubah Family Medical Centre, highlighted how the platform helped her business:
“ Talk of shopping made easy when you are thousands of miles away!!!!
I ordered our staff end of year package 8 months to December from Osusu, and paid in installments over 8-9months. The packages were delivered to the location in Lagos at the set date with no coma oooo. I even added some more at the last minute and they accommodated me. So planning an end of year staff package when you live in another continent has been made easy and seamless thanks to Osusu.
Thank you Osusu for easing the burden of shopping and making planning easier”
Osusu also bridged the gap for Nigerians in the diaspora who want to support loved ones back home.
Chief Chike Nweke, based in the United States, spoke about the convenience Osusu provided:
“Ordering foodstuff for my family in remote parts of Nigeria was always stressful. With Osusu, it was straightforward, transparent, and delivered exactly as promised.”
Looking Ahead: Building for More Nigerian Needs
Speaking on the milestone, Ifuneya Otike-Odibi, Head of Business at Osusu, expressed gratitude and optimism:
“We’re genuinely happy to see Nigerians adopting Osusu and experiencing the benefits of structured layaway payments. Seeing families and businesses plan better and avoid financial pressure is exactly why we built this.”
He also revealed that 2026 will be a major growth year for the platform:
“We plan to significantly improve the service experience and introduce more highly demanded categories such as electronics and furniture—so Nigerians can plan for even bigger life needs with confidence.”
More Than a Platform
Osusu’s Christmas deliveries were more than logistics—they represented trust, planning, and a new way for Nigerians to take control of future expenses.
As inflation persists and households seek smarter financial tools, Osusu is positioning itself not just as a layaway app, but as a long-term partner in everyday Nigerian life.
