Uber Lagos says it has undertaken over one million trips since it launched 2 years ago. The one millionth trip took place on 16th July 2016 from Yaba to Lekki.
This is truly an awesome achievement for a company who came into Lagos, Nigeria just two years ago. In these two years, here is a list of the achievements and memorable moments in the company’s own words:
- We’ve moved over 40 nationalities in the country since we launched!
- We have travelled approximately 9,000,000 km in the time that we have been here. That’s almost the exact distance to make 10 trips to the moon – and back too!
- We’re in Lagos and Abuja.
- In 2014, we launched Uber in the Centre of Excellence – Lagos. Fast forward to 2016, and we’re now in the Federal Capital Abuja as well! What lies ahead? #UberEVERYWHERE
