Gokada, ORide Pivots with GIG Logistics
Interswitch brings American Express home, maintaining its brand agnostic posture in the sector: “By remaining card scheme neutral, Interswitch will continue to explore innovative partnerships that will benefit consumers and retailers alike”. In another deal, GIG Logistics, Nigeria’s largest intra-city logistics platform, brings Gokada and Oride into its network, giving lifelines to the bikers who lost their jobs, after the commercial passenger ban for motorcycles, in Lagos.
It’s Lagos, the centre of excellence, where a guy arrives with a nylon bag and in years returns back to village with a Mercedes Benz: popopo. I am home from Lagos, the village gathers dancing. Ban or no ban, nothing can dim Lagos!
Gig Logistics is a category-king business using many elements of business model, including aggregation construct, to improve supply chain efficiency in Nigeria. You can say that Nigeria runs on Gig Logistics; they are good operators and now they are bringing others to make the sector better.
