Nigeria’s ride-hailing union, AUATON, pass vote of no confidence on president
- AUATON delivered a unanimous vote of no confidence to its National President, Comrade Adedamola Adeniran.
- The Central Working Committee cited constitutional breaches and administrative overreach as grounds for Adeniran's ouster.
- The leadership crisis comes as the ride-hailing industry faces skyrocketing operational costs due to the removal of fuel subsidies.
The ongoing leadership crisis within AUATON highlights the fragility of collective representation in Nigeria's ride-hailing sector. As economic pressures mount, the disunity among drivers could undermine their ability to negotiate effectively with ride-hailing platforms, exacerbating their struggles for fair compensation and safety. It is crucial for stakeholders to address these internal conflicts to restore stability and advocate for drivers' rights.
