Managing Director of a burgeoning transport company, Ismaila Yusuf Atus, has called on the Nigerian government to prioritize reforms in the country’s transportation sector in 2025.
In his New Year message, he emphasized the need for a more affordable, safer, and efficient transport system to address the rising challenges faced by Nigerians in the previous year.
Atus noted that in 2024, Nigerians struggled with escalating fuel prices and limited ride availability, making transportation more expensive and difficult. He urged the government to focus on developing a system where citizens can track their rides in real time and feel secure during their travels.
In addition to addressing affordability and safety, Atus called for job creation within the transportation sector. He emphasized that a well-developed ride-hailing industry could offer employment opportunities for the country’s youth, helping to reduce unemployment while supporting economic growth.
XpressRide, the company led by Atus, also advocated for the adoption of fuel-efficient vehicles tailored to Nigerian roads. Atus argued that this approach would not only lower transportation costs but also promote sustainability in the sector, benefiting both the environment and the economy.
Atus invited all Nigerians to join in the mission to improve the transportation system, emphasizing that collective effort and shared ideas would be crucial in shaping a brighter future for the country in 2025.
