The Lagos State House of Assembly has issued a series of directives to ride-hailing companies operating in the state, including Uber, Bolt, InDrive, Rida, and LagRide, as part of ongoing efforts to address alleged exploitation of drivers on their platforms.
According to the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON), among the key directives issued during a recent public hearing are a comprehensive audit of driver payments, deductions, and commission structures, and a demand for immediate justification of the widespread and opaque deactivation of drivers.
The Lagos State Chairman of the Union, Mr. Azeez Jaiyesimi, in a statement released on Thursday, disclosed that the Assembly also mandated ride-hailing companies to submit their working terms and agreements, with a view to instituting reforms that will end exploitative digital practices.
