PromiseLand Innovations Limited is set to mark Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary by launching ProTaxi, an e-hailing platform that promotes green-energy transportation and affordable mobility. The platform is scheduled to commence operations in Abuja, leveraging rechargeable electric vehicles to provide an alternative to conventional fuel-powered transportation. This move is expected to address rising global energy costs and offer a sustainable solution for commuters.
ProTaxi is designed to connect drivers with commuters while encouraging the adoption of cleaner energy solutions in the mobility sector. The platform's launch marks PromiseLand Innovations Limited's entry into Nigeria's growing e-hailing market, with plans to expand to other parts of the country. According to Ambassador Lawrence Oloche, the company's Chief Executive Officer, ProTaxi aims to empower 1,000 families with brand-new electric vehicles, creating employment and income-generating opportunities for eligible Nigerians.
The ProTaxi initiative is expected to provide drivers with access to vehicles and a digital platform through which they can offer transportation services and earn income. Prospective drivers will be required to register for consideration, subject to screening, verification, and onboarding. The platform's rechargeable energy model aims to reduce dependence on petrol-powered vehicles and address some of the operating cost challenges faced by drivers in the face of changing global energy prices.
ProTaxi will allow passengers to book rides, access trip information, and make payments through a mobile application designed for Android and iPhone users. The platform will feature driver verification, real-time trip tracking, ratings and reviews, as well as location-sharing facilities aimed at improving transparency and passenger safety. Drivers are expected to have flexible working schedules, allowing them to manage their availability while earning through the platform.
The launch of ProTaxi on October 1st, 2026, is expected to position the platform as a new entrant in Nigeria's e-hailing industry, emphasizing green-energy transportation, affordable mobility, and opportunities for drivers. PromiseLand Innovations Limited has expressed its ambition to expand the platform beyond Nigeria and contribute to the adoption of cleaner transportation solutions across Africa.
PromiseLand Innovations Limited's entry into the transportation sector is part of its broader commitment to technology-driven services, sustainable mobility, and economic empowerment. The company, which also has interests in real estate development through PromiseLand Estate, is expanding its business activities into the transportation and e-hailing sector.
With the launch of ProTaxi, PromiseLand Innovations Limited is set to play a significant role in shaping Nigeria's e-hailing industry and promoting sustainable transportation solutions.
