Plentywaka, Nigeria’s largest shared mobility platform which provides safe, comfortable and convenient rides on demand leveraging technology has partnered with Autochek Affrica to facilitate vehicle inspection, financing and maintenance for its increasing vehicle partners.

Speaking on the partnership, Onyeka Akumah, co-founder and CEO of Plentywaka said the partnership was borne out of a need to disrupt an underutilised and unstructured industry while providing diverse services conveniently.
“It is also part of our continued efforts to revolutionise the public transportation sector in Nigeria, now a partner on Plentywaka can onboard their vehicle within 30 minutes and even get vehicle financial assistance on request. Our values align and we are excited about the ease and flexibility that this partnership presents for all our vehicle partners across Africa starting with Nigeria,” he said

This vehicle has been reintroduced in a bid to increase vehicle availability for its teeming number of riders as well as to help them split fares and avoid ridiculous surge fares and first/last mile issues for drivers.
