God Is Good Mobility (GIGM), formerly God is Good Motors, is eagerly anticipating the Federal Government's approval and implementation of a 50% reduction in interstate transport fares ahead of the 2026 festive season and the 2027 general elections. The company's CEO, Dr. Enahoro Okhae, made this announcement during the launch of GIGM's new products, HireX and PASS, in Abuja, which was attended by Nairametrics.
During the fare reduction period in 2023, GIGM and other transport companies were among five selected for the initiative. Dr. Okhae stated that the company has been in talks with the Ministry of Transportation regarding the reintroduction of the scheme, describing it as a "very important scheme." He noted that demand typically increases during festive periods, making fare increases almost inevitable.
If the 50% reduction were applied, a N60,000 journey would be reduced to N30,000, providing more financial relief for passengers. Mr. Joseph Osanipin, Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), praised GIGM and similar platforms for utilizing innovation to improve the travel experience, addressing challenges such as transportation, accommodation, airport transfers, and navigation.
He emphasized the importance of trust, reliability, and efficient service delivery for the successful adoption of digital mobility platforms.
