In a significant development for the ride-hailing industry in Nigeria, the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON) has raised serious allegations against Uber and its partner Moove. The union claims that these companies have been manipulating repayment records, adversely affecting drivers across the country, as analysts warn in the report.
Allegations of Manipulation in Repayment Records
AUATON asserts that the alleged manipulation of repayment records has resulted in extended repayment tenures for drivers, trapping them in a cycle of perpetual debt. This practice, according to the union, undermines transparency and fairness within the industry, prompting them to demand an immediate audit of all repayment records to rectify the situation.
Criticism of High Commission Rates
Furthermore, the union has criticized the high commission rates imposed on Moove drivers, labeling them as discriminatory. AUATON is calling for equal treatment for all drivers, including those working with Uber directly, to ensure a level playing field in the competitive ride-hailing market. The union's demands highlight the ongoing struggles faced by drivers and the need for regulatory oversight in the sector.
