For proper co-ordination and regulation of the e-hailing industry, the Professional E-hailing Drivers and Private-Owners Association of Nigeria has sought the intervention of the National Assembly and the Ministry of Labour to meet its demands.
It said lack of government regulation and protection had been identified as a propelling drive for dictatorial application arbitrary standard, nonchalant attitude to drivers’ safety, security and loss of investment to e-hailing drivers, drive partners and fleet management companies, in an industry that regularly employs graduates.
He said the movement grew speedily out of a dire need to protect drivers’ common interest and advance their welfare, owing to unethical business model and practice by operating dictatorial app companies. The PEDPAN boss, who said the union had embarked on rebranding, called on the app companies to review their poor-pricing system, unlawful deactivation of drivers, proper profiling of riders, reduce humongous commission charged, synergise with drivers’ union and implement policies that are favourable to all stakeholders.
