Bolt Nigeria has denied reports of raising the commission for drivers to 24%. This statement responds to a misunderstanding created by a message sent from South Africa.
Bolt Nigeria's Statement
Bolt Nigeria officially refuted the claims that the commission for drivers has increased to 24%. According to a company spokesperson, the commission remains at 20%. 'We just confirmed that no changes have been made in Nigeria,' the spokesperson stated.
Context and Reaction
The misunderstanding arose from a communication allegedly sent to drivers in South Africa. This message claimed the commission would be raised to enhance services and invest in improvements. However, this message was mistakenly perceived as official in Nigeria.
Ongoing Commission Issues
This situation exacerbates existing issues regarding commissions faced by drivers. Many of them are unhappy that the current commission of 20-25% significantly affects their earnings. Workers' representatives are demanding a fairer commission distribution, as drivers bear the primary costs related to car maintenance and operation.
Despite the tensions and potential misunderstandings, Bolt Nigeria insists that the commission for drivers remains unchanged. The issue of drivers’ low earnings requires careful handling from the company and discussions on new cooperation terms.
