23 Technologies Limited has launched a new ride-hailing service, 23 Ride, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The service which aims to address the dissatisfaction among drivers and passengers with existing services, promises to transform the industry with a customer-centric approach.

Daily Trust reports that Abuja has been battling with a surge in criminal activities linked to car hailing services, leaving residents vulnerable and anxious.

In recent months, there has been a spike in reports of robberies, kidnappings, and assaults perpetrated by individuals posing as drivers or utilizing fake car hailing platforms.
The move comes as a welcome relief to residents, who hope that the measures will restore a sense of security and trust in car hailing services in the FCT.
Briefing newsmen on Monday, Mr. Kingsley Nzewuji, General Manager of 23 ride, said: “We are not just another ride-hailing service. We are a movement aimed at uplifting the standards of urban mobility. Our focus on driver welfare and customer satisfaction sets us apart.”

23 Ride promises to offer generous driver commissions, lower fares for customers, better-maintained cars, and flexible ride plans.

The service has plans to expand to other cities in Nigeria, with a commitment to quality and unmatched transportation solutions.

“We believe that by paying attention to the core aspects of safety, quality, and value, we can set a new standard in the ride-hailing industry in Nigeria,” said Nzewuji.

Chief Peter Ozoagu, Company Secretary/Legal Adviser, said: “We are further in compliance with other regulatory agencies/organisations like EFCC, FCTA, AUATON, FAN and others.”
