• Safety: Gokada Records 99.8% Safety

Gokada, one of the four motorbike-hailing companies in Nigeria, said it has recorded 99.8 percent safety since the company commenced operations in 2018.

This, according to the company, means it’s incident rate per ride remains very low at 0.02 percent.

Ayodeji Adewunmi, who is the Co-Chief Executive Officer, said the motorbike hailing company remained committed to safety measures, fast and efficient transport for passengers across the country.

He said, “Before now, commercial motorcycles were believed to have been responsible for about 69 per cent of the road accidents in Lagos. We were committed to reversing this ugly trend by prioritising the safety of our pilots and thousands of customers who ride our bikes.

“In pursuit of this goal, we trained our drivers, expanded their capacity for defensive driving and put in place the mechanism to comprehensively track every ride for any incident. While all our customers are assured of safety, we still have a structure in place that allows rapid medical response in the unlikely event of an accident. However, our ultimate objective is to achieve a zero-incident milestone across our operations.”

Gokada raised $5.3 million investment fund in the first half of the year to help deepen its operation across Africa and boost revenue.
