AUATWON have called on the FG to revisit the fuel subsidy removal in Nigeria which they say has increased hardships for members.
Ride-hailing drivers in Nigeria, represented by the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transport Workers of Nigeria (AUATWON), have decided to temporarily halt their planned indefinite strike as they seek dialogue with the government.
The Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader at PwC, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, has said that the recent demand for a 200% increase in price by ride-hailing drivers across the platforms of Uber and Bolt, among others, is unjustifiable.
Ride-hailing platform, InDrive, has said that allowing drivers and riders to negotiate price is the only way to achieve a balance in the business with the recent hike in the price of fuel.
Ride-hailing drivers in Nigeria have asked app-based transport companies including Uber, Bolt, Lagride, Indriver, and others to urgently review their prices upward by 200% and set minimum trip fares at N2,000.
