Lagos E-Hailing Drivers Protest Lack of Health Insurance
- Protest Background: E-hailing drivers in Lagos rallied at Landmark Tower to demand compliance from platforms like Uber, Bolt, and inDrive with the National Health Insurance Authority's directive to provide mandatory health insurance, addressing high operational costs and lack of social protection.
- Legal Basis: The National Health Insurance Authority mandated health insurance for all e-hailing and logistics companies under the National Health Insurance Act 2022, aiming to enhance driver welfare and rights, ensuring they receive necessary protections in Nigeria's digital economy.
- Drivers' Demands: Organized by the Amalgamated Union of App-based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON), the protest calls for fair fare structures and reduced excessive commissions, particularly from Uber and Bolt, emphasizing the critical role drivers play in the industry.
- Platform Companies' Response: Despite Bolt's previous introduction of a health insurance scheme for drivers, Uber, Bolt, and inDrive have yet to respond to the NHIA's mandates, leading to decreased trust among drivers and negatively impacting their work motivation.
