Firm inaugurates online taxi booking service in Edo
By Nefishetu Yakubu
A firm, Univasa Nigeria Ltd. has inaugurated an online ride-hailing transport service, empowering no fewer than 170 drivers in Edo.
Speaking at the inauguration of the app-based taxi booking in Benin, the Chief Executive Officer, Ben Adeniyi, said the initiative was to ease the stress of commuters who went to parks to board taxis.
Adeniyi, represented by the General Manager, Univasa Nigeria Ltd., John Oyakhinome, said the e-hailing services would be expanded to other states before the end of 2021.
He said that bonuses, such as annual healthcare insurance and referrals, would be given to drivers based on the number of rides they attracted.
According to him, a tracking device has been installed in the vehicles in the event of car theft.
“All they need to do is to press the distress signal and the customers care service will immediately notify the nearest police station,” Adeniyi said.
He said that the ride-hailing features could also be used offline on application. (NAN)
