Rida Obtains License to Officially Operate in Lagos, Nigeria's Largest City

Rida, the fixed-price carpooling service, has received its official license to operate in the bustling city of Lagos.

In what is poised to change the transport landscape in Lagos, Nigerian Ridesharing has shown its adherence to high standards of operation, commitment to excellent service and rigorous compliance with regulatory guidelines to achieve this milestone.

Receiving official clearance demonstrates the company's adherence to high operational standards, commitment to providing excellent service, and strong compliance with regulatory guidelines.

The platform meets all the criteria required by the Lagos State Government in terms of safety, security and reliability, making Rida one of the few legally founded digital transport services in the city.

Rida's continued expansion in Lagos promises a refreshing, efficient, safe and affordable transportation solution for the city's residents.

With a focus on providing fair rides through driver and passenger negotiation features, Rida also places great importance on safety and reliability, adhering to strict procedures including comprehensive background checks and intensive training for all of its drivers.

“Receiving this license is a strong validation of our operational practices and our unwavering commitment to providing top-notch services,” said Osi Oguah, CEO of Rida.

"We look forward to bringing our reliable ride-hailing services to the people of Lagos, ensuring a convenient, safe and affordable solution for their daily commute."

Rida also wants to expand to other cities in Nigeria. It currently operates in Lagos and Abuja, but plans to open the service in Kano, Benin and Port Harcourt soon.

It is expected to contribute positively to the city's economy, creating employment opportunities for thousands of people and paving the way for a new source of income for car owners.
