With a strong presence in over 16 Nigerian cities including Lagos, Benin City, and Port Harcourt, inDrive is poised to make a significant impact on Abuja’s transportation landscape.

This license goes beyond just offering ride-hailing services. inDrive’s presence in Abuja has the potential to contribute to the socio-economic growth of the city by facilitating an accessible and interconnected urban mobility system.
