Please where can I get huawei nova 3 in Nigeria and what price range?
It should be between 180k – 220k… You can buy on Jumia, here is a link to the product page. I’ve streamlined for the best prices available.
Take note: AliExpress sells this device for less the price you get on Jumia, it sells for about 150k (plus shipping), here is a link. However, the downside is, you have to wait for about a month to get your item.
