After months of bickering, bike-hailing companies have finally reached an agreement with the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), two of the biggest road transport unions in Nigeria. The new agreement was brokered by the Lagos State government, which has stood by as the unions extorted, harassed and beat up bike-hailing riders. Lagos is still planning a bike-hailing licenseBut the deal does not provide much relief for bike-hailing companies. While they may not have to worry about transport unions, the Lagos State government is still planning to go ahead with its proposed licence for startups. “After settling with the unions we will come for our own,” a special adviser to the Lagos State governor allegedly told the startups, the source said.
