UNILAG Introduces 3-Month Food Delivery Pilot, Partners Swoop

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has launched a three-month pilot program to regulate food delivery services on its campus, with Swoop among the two platforms approved to operate within the school. The initiative aims to tackle the issue of unregistered delivery riders entering the university and address concerns over campus security, student welfare, and orderliness.

Under the new framework, food delivery access will be limited to registered and identifiable riders operating through the university’s approved platforms. Swoop has pledged to work closely with the university’s security unit to ensure riders participating in the program are registered and identifiable, while collaborating with the Dean of Student Affairs on matters concerning student welfare.

Demola Adesina, Swoop's Country Manager and a UNILAG alumnus, expressed satisfaction at being chosen as one of the two platforms supporting the important program. He emphasized that student safety and security are the top priority, and UNILAG shares this responsibility. Adesina highlighted the university's commitment to accountability as an essential aspect of the pilot, aiming to demonstrate that food delivery can be both convenient and affordable while meeting high standards within a university community.

The pilot seeks to strike a balance between the university's security requirements and students' continued use of food delivery services.
