The Beginning of the End
The problem began, for Opay, when the state government of Lagos (Opay’s largest market) crippled ORide’s operations by imposing a ban on the activities of motorcyclists in major parts of the state.
OPay has long-established the rumors that it will close some of its business in Nigeria excluding its payment operation, Opay today.
Other daises that will be affected consist of Oride- its cycling platform; Ofood- its place of much-needed food delivery; Ocar – its taxi lifting platform and Oexpress – its resource platform.
