In what is set to change the transportation landscape in
Lagos, the Nigerian ride-hailing has displayed its adherence to high standards
of operation, commitment to excellent service, and rigorous compliance with
regulatory guidelines to achieve this significant milestone.
Attaining the official authorization is a testament to the
company’s adherence to high operational standards, commitment to providing
excellent service, and robust compliance with regulatory guidelines. The
platform satisfies all the criteria required by the Lagos state government in
terms of safety, security, and reliability, making Rida one of a few
legally-grounded digital transport services in the city.
The further expansion of Rida in Lagos promises a
refreshing, efficient, safe, and affordable transportation solution for the
city’s residents. With a focus on providing fair trips via negotiation features
for driver and rider, Rida also places a high value on safety and reliability,
adhering to strict procedures, including comprehensive background checks and
intensive training for all their drivers.
“Receiving this license is a strong validation of our
operational practices and unwavering commitment to providing top-notch
services,” Rida CEO, Osi Oguah said. “We eagerly look forward to delivering our
trusted ride-hailing services to the people of Lagos, ensuring a convenient,
safe, and affordable solution for their daily commuting needs.”
Rida is also keen on expanding to other cities of Nigeria.
It is currently operating in Lagos and Abuja, but plans to open the service in
Kano, Benin and Port Harcourt shortly. It is anticipated to contribute
positively to the city’s economy, creating employment opportunities for
thousands of people and paving the way for a new income avenue for car owners.
