Bolt, one of the fastest-growing ride-hailing platform has rewarded its drivers all over the world. The company formerly known as Taxify gave out an all-expense-paid trip to Dubai for their top drivers of 2019. And guess what? 2 Nigerian Bolt drivers made it to the list. The 2 Nigerians are Ayodele Samuel from Lagos and Franklin Nnolum from Abuja.

One of the winners Franklin isn’t new to winning from Bolt as he has actually been voted Driver of the month 4 times. This comes with special cash incentives and other prizes. According to him, keeping his eyes on the prize and delivering top-notch service to his passengers has always been a priority.

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.”
