GIGM gives undergraduates, NYSC members 20% fare discount

Undergraduates in Nigeria and members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) will enjoy a 20 per cent discount on services provided by God Is Good Mobility (GIGM).

The company announced the discount at the unveiling of its 40th terminal in Gwagwalada Area Council, Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday.

GIGM’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Enahoro Okhae, said the company was deploying technology across its platforms to enable young people and students to participate in its corporate social responsibility and empowerment programmes.

He said the company was also working with key stakeholders, including the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Nigeria Police Force, to strengthen passenger safety nationwide.

According to him, the partnerships are producing positive results in the company’s efforts to improve safety standards.

Okhae disclosed that GIGM was expanding its operations beyond Nigeria to Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, The Gambia and Kenya.

He added that travellers could use the company’s mobile application to book road and air transport services within and outside Nigeria.

The GIGM chief executive also said the company was partnering with the NYSC to provide safer and more affordable transportation for corps members travelling across the country.

He said the collaboration was designed to improve transport services for corps members, adding that the NYSC management had expressed satisfaction with the partnership.

“As you know, GIG Mobility is a tech-enabled and service-oriented company. What we give to the people is service. That is why, when you look around, you will see that we are taking the time to create a place where people can feel a level of satisfaction.

“So, we are excited that, with the commissioning of this 40th Terminal in Gwagwalada, and in the spirit of service we are known for, we have extended the benefits to students and young people, including members of the NYSC.

“Because we all know that things are a bit tough in the country, and disposable income is a bit challenging, we are using this to assist students and support parents as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility.

‘’Beyond CSR, we are also empowering young Nigerians to use our apps for entrepreneurship. We created the GIGM Ambassadors. They can help book passengers for air and road transport and receive a certain percentage on each booking. This way, GIGM is creating opportunities for Nigerian youths,” Okhae said.
