Uber Nigeria on Thursday announced that all riders in Lagos will get 50% off their trips till November 13.
The 50% off campaign, initiated and covered by Uber Nigeria, is to reward loyal riders in Lagos who have made the platform their preferred choice of transportation.
General Manager, Uber West Africa, Ebi Atawodi, said “Lagos has always been a key city in Nigeria and Africa. We are always looking at innovative ways to celebrate riders, drivers and cities and we thought it was only fitting, as we come closer to the end of the year celebrations, that we reward our loyal riders with a 50% discount promotion.”
Riders do not need to do anything to partake in this promotion as Uber will be creating an auto-apply discount code that will ensure that rides taken throughout the campaign are automatically discounted.
For those concerned about the impact on their partner’s personal income, the company said there is no need to worry, as the promotion is being covered by Uber.
“Driver-partners can expect more demand from fare paying passengers and less time spent idle waiting for rides,” it said in a statement made available to Qed.ng.
Uber drivers in Abuja had on Monday embarked on a strike action over commission fees and other logistics.
The Uber network is available in over 450 cities in over 72 countries spanning six continents.
