The group lamented that it was undisputed that the government had not really given the sector the required attention despite several calls by the union for proper regulation.
National President, PEDPAN, Jolaiya Moses, at the union’s first delegate conference, held in Lagos and termed ‘Restructuring’, said government regulating the sector and hastening the certification of the PEDPAN as a trade union in the e-hailing industry by the Ministry of Labour and Productivity would attract investors and protects drivers’ welfare.
He urged the government to show interest, willingness and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to achieve the desired change that would alleviate the suffering of the drivers, attract investors and generate revenue for the government.
