e-Hailing Drivers Protest Lagos’ New Vehicle Inspection Policy

e-Hailing drivers in Lagos are opposing a new vehicle inspection policy implemented by the state’s Ministry of Transportation, arguing it undermines their livelihoods and interests. The Amalgamated Union of App-based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON) has condemned the ministry’s decision to launch a comprehensive vehicle inspection program for e-hailing operators without engaging drivers or their union, a move they view as disrespectful and harmful.
