Service to create jobs
Port Harcourt, which has a population of over three million, is one of Nigeria's most remarkable cities and has seen a significant metamorphosis, according to Obi Cubana in a Leadership report.
In light of this, the businessman claimed that in addition to making life meaningful, the development would boost the economy of this particular city, the garden city, and create new jobs.
He said:
“Today, I am glad to announce that we birthed a new transport service that is local and that is relevant, and we are here with this new service to bridge an existing gap in urban transportation."
He claimed that because the e-hailing service is based on enduring inventions and technology, it will provide superior services than any that have come before it or will in the future.
He said the service aims to close the gap in modern transportation by incorporating discipline, honesty, class, security, and high-quality service delivery into the transportation industry.
He claims that the project, which will eventually include Asaba, Enugu, and other states, is a game-changer because it is focused on local content.
