InDrive invests over N70m to boost drivers safety in Nigeria

 

InDrive has invested over N70 million to demonstrating its firm commitment to elevating urban mobility safety standards in Nigeria.

According to the firm, these funds are specifically allocated for the distribution of safety helmets and jackets for its drivers with the primary goal of providing a more secure commute for both drivers and their passengers.

InDrive’s Business Representative in Nigeria, Oladimeji Timothy, said this effort has been received with immense gratitude from the drivers community, who expressed their thankfulness for this forward-thinking initiative.

He said they highlighted that such moves not only amplify their safety but also foster increased trust.

According to him, this venture is a fragment of inDrive’s broader strategy wherein the leading global mobility and urban services provider has launched its Safety Pact.

He said the pact is not merely a reflection of inDrive’s focus on safety but is also a detailed guide for passengers and drivers.

Timothy said through this, inDrive is actively endorsing and incorporating safe riding behaviors among its users.

“The Safety Pact has a twofold objective. It first introduces specific features that users can utilise for a safer ride-hailing journey. Additionally, it offers a broad array of safety recommendations accompanied by a code of conduct. This guarantees that every trip made via the inDrive platform is not only pleasant but also firmly grounded in optimal safety norms.

“The allocation of funds towards safety gear and the launch of the Safety Pact underscore our dedication. We urge all passengers and drivers to embrace this pact. Such a move will cultivate an ambiance of shared respect and emphasize safety during each journey,” he stated.

He said as the urban transportation landscape in Nigeria continues to transform, inDrive is consistently leading the charge with initiatives that put the safety of its users first.

Timothy further stated that the firm remains unwavering in its ambition to refine the ride-hailing experience, making it safer, more streamlined, and available to all in Nigeria and the wider world.
