The platform’s aggregator ensures that everyone has a fair opportunity in the market.

“Our enrolment regime in terms of commission is the lowest anyone can find in Nigeria now. We allow for people with full time jobs but needing additional opportunities to be able to work and earn money, he said.

“Partnering drivers can retain up to 90 per cent for job completed on our app,” he said.

Readytaxis recently rolled out its mobile app booking platform to complement the web version which has been in operation since 2017 but was officially launched in March 2018.

“You can now compare based on your need and book and immediately book via our mobile applications,” the statement said.

“Since its launch in March 2018, we have made some considerable gains; we have built strategic partnership with several taxi provider companies and have also started in Lagos, Owerri, Enugu, and Awka. We have also received inquiries for Port-Harcourt, Calabar and Uyo,” said Sulaiman.

The Abuja-based firm said its selling point is that it accepts neat and air conditioned vehicles below 2005 unlike other logistics providers to ensure more drivers benefit from the platform.

According to Ajibola, the key features of Readytaxis include customer and driver panic button on the mobile app, providing fleet management, providing driver/vehicle matching system for car hire service, and tracking services.
