inDrive has announced an investment of over ₦1 billion in driver welfare initiatives across Nigeria for 2025, marking one of its largest commitments to improving the ride-hailing experience for drivers in the country. The global mobility and urban services platform said the investment reflects its goal of building a fairer and more supportive ecosystem for those who operate on its network.
Throughout 2025, the company introduced and expanded several programmes focused on safety, earnings, recognition, and long-term wellbeing. These initiatives, according to inDrive, were designed to give drivers more stability and better opportunities to grow within the platform.
One of the major milestones of the year was the rollout of the enhanced Platinum Tier loyalty programme. This upgraded tier offered a wider range of exclusive benefits for top-performing drivers. The programme included premium rewards, priority support, and additional earning opportunities matched to each driver’s performance level. The company said the expanded benefits were part of its effort to celebrate excellence and encourage consistent service quality.
Another key achievement was the expansion of the health insurance initiative, which extended coverage to 600 high-performing drivers across Nigeria. With this move, more drivers gained access to essential healthcare services, strengthening the company’s commitment to prioritising safety and wellbeing. inDrive noted that this step was necessary to support the health needs of those who keep the platform running daily.
To wrap up a highly active year, inDrive launched a large-scale driver rewards contest in Lagos and Abuja. The contest featured bi-weekly prizes, live announcements of winners, and interactive engagement activities aimed at motivating drivers and building a stronger sense of community.
Across all programmes, the company’s investment of more than ₦1 billion highlighted its ongoing focus on financial empowerment, safety, and fair earnings. “As we wrap up 2025, we’re proud of the real, measurable impact these programmes have made for thousands of drivers nationwide. We remain committed to building a ride-hailing ecosystem that uplifts drivers and creates opportunities for sustainable growth,” said Timothy Oladimeji, inDrive’s Country Representative.
