As the Nigerian economy and employment state worsens, many Nigerians are seeking other means to earn money and make a decent living. The so-called ‘white-collar jobs’ can’t suffice for the teeming mass of unemployed youths and graduates. Nigerians now seek other ‘seemingly lesser’ means to make money. One such means is to become a driver with Lagos Ride.
Lagos Ride is a mobility solution particularly for Lagosians to enable them to share a ride with other passengers going in their direction. It is a comfortable and affordable means to save yourself the hassle of queuing and fighting for a cab as prevalent in Lagos. With Lagos Ride, you also get the privilege of becoming a driver. This way, you can even own a car and also earn some decent cash as well. In this article, Carmart Nigeria walks you through the steps and requirements of becoming a driver.
