E-MOBILITY
A BIKE SHARING
AND LIFESTYLE
TECHNOLOGY
IN NIGERIA
Nigeria’s tertiary students struggle with
commuting to multiple destinations –
with distances ranging from a few metres
to several kilometres. AWA Bike, a smart
bike-sharing platform, has provided a
solution, linking community members
to available bicycles through their app.
The company is currently developing
its reach into various sub-sectors of
the Nigerian Civil Service Commission
to ensure that aging civil servants get
the daily exercise they need while
eliminating environmental pollution,
one carbon footprint at a time.

”The larger effort of
environmental protection, is a
combination of small efforts;
we will not stop until we have
as many Africans as possible on
bikes.
Only then, will we be satisfied
that we have played our part in
protecting the climate in Africa
and the world.”
