Insecurity: FCTA Licenses Nairaxi, Bolt For e-Taxi Operations In Abuja

In a move to address insecurity in the nation’s capital, the FCT Administration, through its Transportation Secretariat, has granted licences to Nairaxi and Bolt to operate ride-hailing apps in the territory under its Public Transport Management Scheme.

The approval designates Bolt and NAIRAXI as the exclusive licensed ride-hailing operators authorised to provide on-demand transport and logistics services using mobile applications in FCT.

This announcement was made in a statement published by FCTA Transportation Secretariat through its Public Transport Management Scheme under the Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS-FCT).

The statement reads: “The Administration will soon commence enforcement operations on non-compliant operators, and others are expected to initiate their licensing processes to avoid being banned from operating in the FCT.

“This move aims to tackle insecurity challenges through verifiable data tracking and other significant benefits in the nation’s capital.
