Ride-hailing drivers on the platforms of Uber, Bolt, InDrive, and Lagride in Lagos have commenced a three-day strike over what they described as poor working conditions and unsustainable fares offered by ride-hailing platforms.
The Lagos State chapter of the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON) announced the industrial action on Sunday during a press briefing in Lagos.
Public Relations Officer of the union, Steven Iwindoye, said the decision followed prolonged complaints from drivers over economic pressures affecting app-based transport workers across the state.
Iwindoye explained that drivers are grappling with increasing fuel prices, higher vehicle maintenance costs, inflation, and rising living expenses.
He said the fare structures and policies of ride-hailing companies have not been adjusted to reflect these economic realities.
The union said the strike is aimed at pressing for urgent reforms in the app-based transport sector.
