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 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 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.
