The e-cab operators, under the aegis of Professional E-hailing Drivers and Private Owners Association (PEDPA), threatened to embark on the strike if their demands were not met. According to Shonuga, over 95 per cent of e-hailing transactions are consummated through Uber and Bolt platforms. “Your companies have failed, refused and neglected to honour our request for a meeting to discuss issues beneficial to all e-hailing drivers in Nigeria. “And to fashion a harmonious relationship that will benefit, dignify and improve the standard of living of e-hailing drivers, private car owners and the general standard of e-hailing business in the country. Shonuga said that the association was considering taking legal action to seek remedies against the e-hailing companies if their demands were not met.
