Gava Ideology

Gava Cab was born out of necessity that could not be better timed. If you have been to Enugu (and indeed other Eastern Nigeria cities) recently, you will immediately understand the vacuum Gava Cab has come to fill and this vacuum is very real if you ask Enugu residents. This is a city that was voted one of the 100 Most Resilient Cities in the world in 2017, fast-forward to 2019, it even holds an excellent promise for the future. A beautiful and sprawling city that was the capital of the old Eastern Region of Nigeria.

Enugu, nicknamed “Coal City”, was also the capital of Biafra that was short lived in the committee of nations but forever lives in the minds of the proud residents of Coal city also code named 042! The city continues to be seen as the headquarters of Igboland and boasts of a strong middle and upper class, with very good road networks and clean air. There are very many beautiful, classy, cool and exhilarating hotels, malls, nightclubs, eateries, joints and all kinds of fun-filled sites, and more are springing up daily.

This city deserves way better than the popular tricycle taxis, known as keke, which have become infamous for ghastly motor accidents and other road hazards. Without air-conditioning or good cover from rain, these tricycles now form the staple means of transport in a city where the middle classes and visitors alike have no choice riding them. The conventional yellow taxis that donned the city in the 1980s-90s are now extinct, giving way to the tricycles.

Into this public transportation vacuum steps in Gava Cab, owned by young professionals, who grew up in Enugu, migrated to the USA, and came back to the city they love, with their self-styled pink/purple-logo on-demand cab service, which they have sworn to make the pride of Enugu.
