Getting to and from PVC Collection Centers? Uber will discount your ride by 50%.

15 May 2023

Uber has announced that beginning on December 15 and running for five weeks leading up to the General Elections in Nigeria in February 2023, it will offer a promotion giving riders a 50% discount on rides booked through the app to and from designated PVC (Permanent Voter Card) collection centers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

"We are proud to play a role in helping riders access convenient, affordable, and reliable trips at such an important time for the country." We believe that mobility shouldn’t be a barrier to allowing people to take part in such an important civic exercise as voting in the General Elections. "We hope as many riders as possible will take advantage of promotional fares to collect their PVCs." According to Tope Akinwumi, Uber's country manager in Nigeria,
During the hours of Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., customers may take advantage of the special offer.

More than 20 million PVCs out of a total of 84 million registered PVCs have not yet been collected around the country, so this statement comes at a crucial moment.
The goal of this initiative is to encourage cyclists to enroll in voter registration and cast ballots in the next midterm elections.

Uber is dedicated to making it simple for people to get about their city, so the company is always innovating in the safety department to make sure that both customers and drivers feel secure at all times.
