In its bid to further support driver-partners, Uber has announced the official opening of its Greenlight Hub in Lagos. The Hub, which is strategically located at the Maryland Mall in Maryland, Lagos, will be open six days a week and will serve as a resource
centre where existing and potential driver-partners can receive support for app-related inquiries.
Speaking at the launch event, Alon Lits, General Manager for Uber, Sub-Saharan Africa said, “The Greenlight Hub is a support centre that provides drivers-partners with established channels of communication to raise individual questions and concerns that they may have. We’ve always had partner support centres, but not at the level of the Greenlight Hub, where potential
and existing driver-partners can have their concerns and inquiries addressed by our dedicated and professional team.”
Taryn Morris, Head of Greenlight for SSA, reaffirmed Uber’s commitment to supporting driver-partners.
Morris said: “We are excited to officially open the new Greenlight Hub in Lagos Nigeria and offer a new, world-class, technologically advanced place for drivers to get on-boarded and obtain customer support. The new location is also much more accessible to drivers and we aim to have the best driver experience through solid processes and training of our Uber Experts.”
As a way of recognising and surprising exceptional driver-partners, Uber also presented prizes to Usman Oboshi, Remi
Afolabi and Edwin Obi – driver-partner with the best rating and longest partnership with Uber. Prizes were also presented to Blessing Onu, women driver-partner with the longest partnership with Uber and Iwa Airiohuodion, women driver-partner with the best rating.
“Uber cares about the driver-partners that use the app and we are committed to ensuring that they succeed and thrive in business,” O’Yoma Ukueku, Greenlight Operations Manager, Uber Nigeria, said. “Once existing and prospective driver-partners arrive at the Greenlight Hub, they are promptly attended to by our well-trained and professional Greenlight Uber Experts.There are no costs involved for driver-partners utilising the Greenlight Hub, we respect them as valuable partners with a voice and a choice and we want them to feel that they can talk to us about anything at any time.”
The Greenlight Hub will be open Monday through Thursday, from 9 am – 4pm, Friday, from 9am – 3pm and on Saturday, from 11am – 4pm, excluding public holidays.
