inDrive Nigeria has provided more than ₦75 million worth of relief materials to residents affected by recent demolition exercises in Lagos State, reinforcing its commitment to community support beyond mobility services.
In partnership with the Tolu Aniwura Welfare Foundation (GenerousMe), the ride-hailing platform distributed essential food items, clothing, school supplies, bedding, and other critical support to more than 2,000 displaced individuals and families at St. Paul Catholic Church in Ebute-Metta.
The intervention came in response to housing demolitions across several communities in Lagos that have left residents vulnerable and in urgent need of assistance.
Timothy Oladimeji, inDrive’s Country Representative, said the initiative reflects the company’s “people-first approach” and responsibility to support communities during moments of hardship.
“At inDrive, our responsibility goes beyond providing mobility services; it extends to standing with communities during moments of need,” Oladimeji stated, highlighting the company’s focus on fairness and empathy in its social impact efforts.
Beyond food and clothing, the relief packages included mosquito nets, rechargeable lamps, power banks, baby care items, and school packs containing bags and writing materials — a holistic response to the immediate needs of affected families and children.
Representatives from GenerousMe also emphasized the importance of collaboration, noting that the partnership enabled the timely and coordinated delivery of aid to those most affected by the recent demolitions.
The support extended to individuals who had previously participated in inDrive-backed social impact programmes, underlining the mobility platform’s broader commitment to empowering vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
