The Lagos Ride Scheme is firstly aimed to take off all rickety cars being used as taxis on our roads by providing alternatives to the operators who are not owners of the vehicles to become owners through the “lease to own scheme”.
The Lagos Ride Scheme provides the driver/operator with right to own the car after the car is fully paid for within 3-4 years.
