LagRide Deploys 400 Vehicles for 2026 Ember Months Rush
LagRide has announced the deployment of 400 new vehicles across Lagos as part of its preparations for the 2026 Ember Months rush, which typically sees increased movement due to business activities, tourism, and events. This expansion was revealed during the LagRide 2026 Driver Mobilisation and Fleet Flag-Off at the LagRide Centre in Lagos, where over 100 newly inducted drivers began their service.
The company aims to mobilize over 1,000 additional drivers, referred to as Captains, by December, building on its existing fleet of more than 2,000 vehicles. Mildred Ekanem, Executive Director of LagRide Nigeria, emphasized the need for expanded availability and coverage to meet the anticipated demand.
The company is also expanding into communities such as FESTAC, Ikorodu, and Ajah, supported by a 24-hour customer service center. Chief Diana Chen, Chairman of LagRide, stated that the expansion is designed to strengthen Lagos’ transportation and tourism ecosystem while creating opportunities for professional drivers.
