Bolt, the leading on-demand transportation app in Europe and Africa has rewarded it’s top drivers for the year 2019 with an all-expenses paid trip to Dubai.
This is part of its broader effort to reward drivers and incentivize them for loyalty to the platform, maintaining high ratings and delivering high quality service. Using equal opportunity performance metrics, Ayodele Samuel from Lagos and Franklin Nnolum from Abuja emerged top drivers for the year under review.
For Franklin Nnolum, keeping his eyes on the prize and delivering top notch service to his passengers has always been a priority. No stranger to Bolt rewards, Franklin is a four-time winner of the Bolt driver of the month reward and its accompanying cash incentive.
Sharing his experience as a Bolt driver, Nnolum who became a Bolt driver in 2017 said, “I started driving with Bolt just before Bolt launched its operations in Abuja. So, you can say I’m one of the pioneer drivers there. They started on a really good footing and have sustained that so I’ve never seen a reason to drive on any other platform.”
Selected for his consistently high rating and number of finished rides, Ayodele Samuel, who won the overall prize for the Bolt driver of the year was rewarded with a trip for two and joined by his wife for the trip to Dubai. Ayodele expressed his excitement amid shock as he rarely paid much attention to his exceptional performance on the platform. In his words, “I have been solely generating income to fend for my family through the Bolt app since 2017. It’s been a wonderful experience so far.”
“I have never travelled out of the country before and look forward to this trip because it would be a lifetime experience” he enthused. He also thanked Bolt for being a stable source of income for many families and advised that it pays for drivers to continue giving their best on the platform.
Speaking on the rewards, Femi Akin-Laguda, Bolt Nigeria’s Country Manager said, “Drivers are the backbone of our ecosystem and we are constantly looking for ways to improve driver incentives. We expect that with this, driver satisfaction will greatly increase and the ripple effect of this will be superior ride experiences for passengers who choose Bolt. Mr. Ayodele and Mr. Nnolum serve as great examples of consistently excellent service to riders. We applaud them and will continue to engage drivers with benefits and appreciation rewards”.
