- Uber Driver-partner Wins Car
A lucky driver-partner with Uber last Thursday drove home a brand new car courtesy of the company’s uberFREEKICK campaign.
Banjo Olayemi couldn’t hide his joy after he was announced the winner of the car.
The car was presented to him at the Uber Greenlight Hub – a dedicated support centre for driver-partners in Lagos.
Uber General Manager West Africa Lola Kassim congratulated Olayemi.
Kassim said: “Our unique brand proposition at Uber is that we are committed to creating business and economic opportunities, especially for driver-partners. We value our driver community and are always looking at ways in which we can make their experience more memorable on Uber. We’re excited to continue stimulating growth across a broad range of sectors within the Nigerian socio-economic space.”
Uber Senior Driver Operations Manager for Nigeria, Osi Oguah said the competition was open to all driver-partners with active accounts in Lagos or Abuja.
“The winner of the uberFREEKICK competition needed to complete 40 trips per week in Lagos or Abuja during the competition period, in addition to meeting other criteria,” he said.
Olayemi said he was happy to be the winner of the brand new car.
“I almost didn’t believe it, but my name was called repeatedly. My appreciation goes to the management of Uber for this great initiative and for truly supporting drivers in word and in deed. Owning a new car means I can be more efficient with my work, and offer my riders excellent service,” he said.
The uberFREEKICK train moves to Abuja this week, where another lucky driver-partner will go home with a new car.
Uber recently celebrated its fourth year of operations in Lagos.
