Traffic accidents are surging in Nigerian cities like Lagos, with a significant contributing factor being the rapid growth of app-based delivery services. The business models of platforms like Jumia Food and Glovo, which incentivize speed, are leading to reckless driving by courier riders and a growing public safety crisis.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Last Mile Delivery.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your '30-minutes-or-less' promise is now being directly blamed for rising traffic deaths in Lagos. The public safety crisis created by your business model means tough new regulations on gig-economy platforms are now inevitable.
