As part of its continued efforts to revolutionize the public transportation sector, Nigeria’s premier Bus-hailing firm, Plentywaka has sealed a partnership deal with Autochek Africa to facilitate vehicle inspection, financing and maintenance for its teeming number of vehicle partners.
Announcing the partnership, Plentywaka noted that the strategic alliance will facilitate hassle-free vehicle inspection and hire-purchase for prospective Plentywaka vehicle partners, within a short period of time.
“Just like Plentywaka, Autocheck Africa was born out of a need to disrupt an underutilised and unstructured industry. Now, a partner or hero on Plentywaka can onboard their vehicle within 30 minutes and even get vehicle financial assistance on request. Our values align and we are excited about the ease and flexibility that this partnership presents for all our vehicle partners across Africa starting with Nigeria,” said Onyeka Akumah, Co-Founder and CEO of Plentywaka.
According to Akumah, this particular partnership is coming in the wake of plans to expand the Plentywaka Dailywaka ride-sharing service to over 7 new routes in a few days.
