In a recent development, Mr. Fola Tinubu, managing director of Primero Transport Limited and a prominent figure in Nigeria’s business and technology sector, has underscored the importance of prioritizing safety measures in the operations of e-hailing platforms across the country.

Drawing parallels with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, Tinubu emphasized the need for deploying advanced monitoring and emergency communication practices to ensure the safety of both drivers and passengers.

Tinubu, known for his astute observations and contributions to the Nigerian business landscape, highlighted the significant role that technology can play in enhancing safety within the e-hailing sector. He stressed the importance of leveraging appropriate technological solutions to monitor and respond to emergencies effectively.

Speaking recently through his social media platform in Lagos, Tinubu stated, “We need to take a cue from the BRT system, which has implemented robust monitoring and emergency communication mechanisms to safeguard passengers and drivers alike. E-hailing platforms must invest in similar technological solutions to address safety concerns within their operations.”

The BRT system in Nigeria has been lauded for its effective use of technology to ensure the safety and security of commuters.

With features such as real-time GPS tracking, CCTV surveillance, and dedicated emergency hotlines, the BRT system has set a benchmark for safety standards in public transportation.

Tinubu emphasized the need for e-hailing platforms to adopt similar practices, including the implementation of GPS tracking systems in vehicles, real-time monitoring of trips, and establishing dedicated emergency communication channels.

These measures, he argued, would not only enhance the safety of passengers but also provide a sense of security for drivers operating within the system.

The call for improved safety measures in e-hailing platforms comes amid growing concerns over incidents of violence, harassment, and accidents involving both drivers and passengers.

As the popularity of e-hailing services continues to rise in Nigeria, stakeholders are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing safety concerns to ensure the sustainable growth of the industry.

Tinubu’s advocacy for enhanced safety measures in e-hailing platforms has been met with positive reception from industry experts and stakeholders.

Many have echoed his sentiments, calling for greater collaboration between technology companies, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies to implement effective safety solutions.

In conclusion, Mr. Fola Tinubu’s call for e-hailing platforms in Nigeria to prioritize safety through the adoption of monitoring and emergency communication practices underscores the critical need for proactive measures to address safety concerns within the industry.

By leveraging appropriate technology and drawing inspiration from successful models such as the BRT system, the e-hailing sector can enhance the safety and security of both drivers and passengers, ultimately fostering trust and confidence in the platform’s services.
