Firstplus and Nairaxi are currently in talks with FCT regarding how they can assist in equipping most of their buses. Talks are ongoing to introduce the required digital technology to maintain sustainable operations and maximum return on government's investment in transportation.

This initiative will also leverage technology to improve routing plan that will minimize congestion and improve the overall efficiency of the public transport system in Nigeria. He explained that the progress of the initiative can be tracked with key performance indicators.

In a speech by the Chairman of Firstplus, Alhaji Yusuf Aliyu Umar described the ongoing plans to work with FCT administration. The plan will help to alleviate and soften the impacts of the fuel subsidy on Nigerians. He explained that the mass transit scheme will be truly beneficial to Nigerians and will change the transportation landscape.

Still reacting to the prospective innovation, he noted that Standardized mass transit scheme in Nigeria will translate into lesser vehicle on the road which means less fossil fuel pollution and a means to combat climate change.

Addressing journalists few days ago, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nairaxi, Kingsley Eze, said the initiative would enhance accessibility to affordable transport services. This service will be provided for all societal segments, especially low income earners.

This is coming few weeks after Nairaxi in collaboration with Kano Metropolitan Transport Company kicked-off the digitization of mass mobility across major routes in Kano City.

He maintained that the initiative provides a sustainable platform through which mass Transportation can be effectively subsidized by governments and yet create huge revenue. The Automated Fare Collection system of NAIRAXI allows the convenient use of contactless smart cards as cashless payment instruments in public transportation modes.

According to him, NAIRAXI is partnering with other road transport Operators, alongside state governments to introduce technology into our mass transit systems. It has adopted technology to ensure effective payment systems, proper accessibility, ease of payment, automated fare collection, security and monitoring for sustainable management.

Speaking further, he stated that these initiatives will curb the corruption and fraudulent activities in fare collection through implementation of the Auto -fare collection system (AFCS) and user smart card (USC) as they are designed to track transaction and payment history.

Recall that His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR since assumption of office three weeks ago Introduced policies like fuel subsidy removal, unification of exchange rates and other pro-market development policies that have huge potentials to make our country an investment destination.

While speaking on the benefits of the Initiatives, NAIRAXI boss explained that it would provide customized electronic transit cards and subsidise mass transportation on behalf of the government to ameliorate the harsh economic conditions experienced by the masses due to the removal of fuel subsidy.

He emphasized on the need that has been found in the market and the removal of subsidy that has created the need to provide palliatives that will cushion the effects established by the private sector which will ensure progress in the country.

Also speaking during the conference, the Co-founder and COO Elizabeth Omale stated that the initiative will revolutionalise the transport sector in Nigeria and help reduce the harsh conditions created by fuel subsidy removal.

According to Elizabeth, NAIRAXI is a home grown indigenous app that has come to make a difference in the transport sector. She explained that there is a lot to be tapped out from the transport sector.

Lost election in the country capital Abuja

Lost election in his own bourdillon street in Ikoyi

All of a sudden INEC chairman did his evil magic ad landed us in this nightmare

Filling stations are just standing ideal because no more massive customers

Imagine fuel gets to 700 naira a liter as projected

See make una make sure say this government go Favour una

Keep wailing for the next 8 years

They will say they are working, thats how they will waste another 4yrs

Will it reduce the cost of fuel or tfare? Will it make fuel not to be sold above 600 in some places? Does Nigeria start and end in Lagos and FCT?

Well you have a president who puts the cart before the horse

Isn't it wonderful?
I've been seeing this in movies but now, we have to do same in Nigeria.

good initiative, let's wait and see how agberos in Abuja respond to this.

Lagos BRT cowri modelling I guess,
Good job . Let other states adopt this.

This will be great if the fares are low. Because normally transport in abuja used to be low compared to places like lagos. Hopefully the bus reached maraba and masaka because most of the people working in abuja Town live either in maraba axis or gwags. And the bus fare has to be very affordable so people don't spend much on transport.

P.S:

Is this Elizabeth omale related to one Abuja radio broadcaster

It is only IPOB/ESN people dat are suffering. In any case it is their fault they don't know how to play politics. Dem no sabi rig so now they are suffering. They will suffer for the next 8 years and then another 8. They should noe be allowed to use this Asiwaju Nairaxi. Ronu ronu o. Heheeee! Una go swallow sh!t and die in silent agony on top dis administration as IGBO HATE no go gree una cry out. We love everything o, it shall favor us o. Lunatics!
