A
growing technology company, Uber on Wednesday added Abuja to the list of smart
transportation hubs in Africa where riders are conveniently connected to
drivers in real time at the touch of a button on the Uber app that will be
configured on a smart phone.
This
happened at the launch of the innovative service that took place at the
Transcorp Hilton where the Nigerian federal capital became the 400th city to be
added across the globe about 18 months after the same service was launched in
Lagos.
Speaking at the event, the General Manager for Uber Lagos, Ebi Atawodi said: “We’re really excited to be launching Uber in Abuja. Uber gives the people of Abuja an affordable, easy and flexible choice to move around the city safely and reliably.
“For
those who don’t know, Uber moves around millions of global citizens every day,
offering affordable and reliable rides at the touch of a button. By offering a
friendly and reliable complement to existing transport options, we can help
improve urban mobility in Abuja, reduce traffic congestion and the
environmental impact of vehicles at the same time.
