BOLT, UBER OPERATING ILLEGALLY SAYS ABUJA PAINTED TAXI PRESIDENT, INTRODUCES NAIRAXI AS LICENSED OPERATORS IN FCT

By Godson Ikpontu

Few hours ago in Abuja, the President of Abuja Painted Taxi, Comrade Shehu Shugabi Yar'adua louded the illegal operational activities of Bolt and Uber transport services in FCT, stressing that the duo organizations are not licensed operators and have thereby contributed in supporting illegalities in the city's transport industry. He made the statement in Abuja while introducing NAIRAXI to residents of FCT, an indigenous and newly created on-demand ride hailing and logistics service, described as Nigeria version of Uber.

Comrade Shehu Shugabi hailed the new NAIRAXI Driver Application and its interest to support the digitalisation of Abuja Painted Taxi with a partnership which was sealed at the office of NAIRAXI on the 7th of January 2021. The partnership allows Abuja Painted Taxi to be included in the mobile application of NAIRAXI.

He further stated that the indigenous NAIRAXI driver application will provide an opportunity for Abuja Painted Taxis to be repackaged for more effective transport service delivery, as he assured commuters of it readiness to address the challenges of vehicle cleanliness and moral ethics of it's Abuja Painted Taxi Drivers, which will be included in the NAIRAXI mobile application. He however commended NAIRAXI for launching Nigeria’s version of Uber and Bolt, stressing that their partnership with the company will enable the Painted Abuja Taxi to migrate from analog to digital system.

In a statement by the Co-Founder of NAIRAXI, Mr. Kingsley Eze, he noted that over 45percent of Abuja residents navigates across the city using the painted green taxis, but over the years, they’ve been disenfranchised, because they don’t have the actual technology to maintain relevance for better service delivery. He however stated that most of them have seen their income dwindle over these last three-four years, but will be resolved as it partners with NAIRAXI Mobile Application. He says, "We want to change of face of mobility in the FCT with electronic commerce and logistics, thereby pioneering this very great innovation, to connect Nigerians on all income growth, to get safe and affordable ride, order and shop for anything, as well as send and track parcels”, he concluded.

He has a valid point

Are they not the ones illegally infringing on someone else's intellectual property? The concept of ride sharing app was developed and pioneered by one those people they are taunting. Do they have permission to copy it or are they paying royalty to the original developer? They better keep quite.

Why is GRAB not yet in Nigeria... That't what I use to flex in Philly

When you are living in denial and not changing with time, you definitely blame the pace setters for your retrogression.

Starting a product with open beef? I don't see this Nairaxi going anywhere and who designed the logo?

What is our business if they are operating illegally, don't we have regulatory bodies for that? Your bargaining chip should be bringing your fare down, tell us what you can do better?

Economics. It is going to cost a US based company a lot more to pursue a case in Nigeria as little as this one. They don't even have anything of value that might be used as remedy.

Bad Belle people.. everyone is making money. Uber/bolt isn't dragging anything from them what's their problem? Tufiaaaaa

Go to America, home of Uber, or Europe, home of Bolt, and register a cab hailing app company and see whether they will allow you. Support your own. Uber/Bolt operation in Nigeria represent a foreign exchange flight from Nigeria. So, you need foreign companies to operate kabu-kabu in Nigeria.

Go and see what French taxi drivers and those in few other countries does to Uber or Uber drivers.

it is an app, illiterate fools.
