Lagos state summons Uber, Bolt, others over alleged unfair practices in ride-hailing sector
- The Lagos State Government invited major ride-hailing companies for a public dialogue due to a petition from AUATON.
- The petition alleges unfair labor practices and regulatory non-compliance among ride-hailing platforms like Uber, Bolt, and others.
- A public hearing is scheduled to take place at the Assembly Complex in Ikeja.
The situation highlights a critical need for regulatory oversight in the gig economy, particularly in ensuring fair labor practices and safety for workers. The dialogue could serve as a pivotal moment for the ride-hailing industry in Lagos, but it remains to be seen if the companies will genuinely engage in constructive dialogue or continue to prioritize profits over worker welfare.
