Bolt, Uber Drivers To Abandon Firms Amid Hike In Fuel

Drivers working for e-hailing firms in the country including Uber and Bolt under the aegis of the Amalgamated Union of App-based Transport Workers of Nigeria (AUATWON) have threatened to dump the services due to the lingering face-off between the drivers and firm due to hike in fuel.

VerseNews Nigeria gathered that the drivers may discontinue the services for the firms due to their refusal to allow collective bargaining by drivers.

This was disclosed in an interview with journalists by the Publicity Secretary of the union which comprises drivers under e-hailing firms such as Bolt and Uber, Jossy Olawale.
