The Lagos State Government has mandated all licensed e-hailing operators, including Uber, Bolt, Lagride, and InDrive, to ensure their drivers present their vehicles for inspection as part of a comprehensive audit aimed at improving safety standards, service quality, and regulatory compliance in the sector.
The disclosure was made by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday, following a stakeholder engagement with e-hailing operators at the Ministry of Transportation, Alausa, Ikeja.
According to Osiyemi, the Ministry of Transportation has observed the deplorable condition of some vehicles operating under licensed e-hailing platforms, prompting the rollout of the inspection exercise.
