Plentywaka launched in Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, in September 2019. Since then, it has gone on to do over 100,000 rides across 7 routes in the commercial city. It has also secured over 40,000 customers in the process.

The startup has been able to raised $300,000 in pre-seed investment from EMFATOMicrotraction and Niche Capital, with the vision to continue to transform the transport system in Nigeria and expand across different part of the country and presently launched out in Abuja after massive breakout in Lagos, Nigeria.

In a direct response to the city-wide lockdown and restriction of movement, the Lagos-based business-to-consumer delivery service will provide its customers with same-day service and range of logistical vehicles from cooling vans, trucks and bikes that can be easily selected depending on the requirements.
