The news of the okada ban in commercial areas within Lagos state was met with mixed reactions. Some people believed that an outright ban was the right move, while others found it a difficult pill to swallow. Since the ban, operators of commercial motorcycles and their customers have expressed apprehension as they solely rely on this means of transportation to move within the state without being stuck in traffic for hours. There have also been safety concerns and the high rates of accidents associated with okada riding.
This is where Companies like MAX play a vital role. Since its launch, MAX has not only helped commuters within the state reduce their daily commute by 70%, it has also provided safe and affordable motorcycles. MAX created an easy-to-use ride-hailing app (MAXOkada) - a platform that helps users enjoy safe, fast, and affordable movements around their cities; using advanced payment technology.
MAX Okada is also playing a vital role in changing the narrative of unemployment in Nigeria. Using technology as a means of social impact, MAX Okada has created thousands of jobs for motorcycle riders and improved their livelihoods.
As safety is our watchword, MAX Champions (as our riders are referred to), undertake immense and rigorous training in our driver academy to ensure that they can transport passengers safely, obey all traffic rules and put in their best at all times, even outside work. MAX Okada creates employment for these Champions and ensures they have a steady means of earning an honest living.
Some benefits of being a MAX Champion:
1. You get to own your bike within a short period of time.
2. As a MAX Champion, your safety is a top priority. Upon activation, every champion is entitled to health and accident insurance.
3. Excellent Champion support and welfare.
4. You get a strong and durable bike as well as high quality helmets for you and your passenger.
