Bolt Nigeria has finally addressed the run-in it has with the Nigerian e-hailing union, describing it as a quest for clarification of the Nigerian labour laws. Bolt’s Senior Public Policy Manager for West Africa, North Africa and Central Africa, Weyinmi Aghadiuno, clarified this while fielding questions from this reporter.
According to her, there was really no quarrel with the union as the e-hailing company was never against the formation of unions by drivers. She, however, noted that the company only sought to clarify its relationship with the drivers as independent contractors in a gig economy, not workers or employees as they posited in the lead-up to their formal registration as a trade union.
