Bolt, a leading ride-hailing platform, and the Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) in FCT Abuja on Thursday, October 17 hosted a safety workshop for couriers.

The courier event emphasized rider safety and responsible driving practices within the Federal Capital Territory.

Themed “Empowering Riders for Safe Delivery Journeys”, the event brought together Bolt courier-partners, experts from the industry, and key government figures and regulators, including representatives from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Commissioner of Police, FCT Road Safety Council, Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) and the members of National Union of Dispatch Riders of Nigeria.

A key highlight of the workshop was the launch of a new safety jacket specifically designed for couriers within the FCT.

This high-visibility jacket aims to increase their visibility on the roads, especially during low-light conditions, reducing the risk of accidents and promoting public safety.

The workshop included several safety-focused sessions specifically designed for couriers. These sessions covered a range of topics, including thorough training on traffic laws, defensive driving strategies, and best practices for safe and responsible delivery operations.

Additionally, an open forum allowed couriers to voice their concerns, provide feedback, and offer suggestions on safety and working conditions, creating a collaborative environment for improvement.

Weyinmi Aghadiuno, acting head of Regulatory & Policy Africa, said:

“At Bolt, safety is at the heart of our operations. We understand the rapid growth of the delivery sector and the responsibility it brings to ensure that every rider is well-equipped to operate safely. Today’s workshop reflects our joint commitment to this goal. We acknowledge the unique challenges faced by delivery riders across the FCT and Nigeria, and we believe that through collective efforts, we can mitigate risks and promote safer practices”.

Mr. Chinedu Elechi, mandate secretary, Transportation, FCT, said:

“I would like to commend Bolt Nigeria for their unwavering commitment to road traffic safety and for their proactive approach in partnering with the FCT to drive these crucial initiatives. Together, we are demonstrating that safety is not an individual responsibility but a shared priority for all stakeholders involved”.

“As we move forward, I assure you that the FCT Administration will continue to introduce and implement policies that support safer road practices and better working conditions for delivery riders and other road users”, Chinedu promised.

This collaborative initiative between Bolt and DRTS underscores a shared commitment to enhancing road safety for all users, including delivery couriers who play a crucial role in the city’s logistics and transportation network.
