About HerRyde
HerRyde was a ride-hailing service for women in Nigeria, launched in response to safety concerns experienced impacting women. HerRyde facilitated over 2,000 rides for more than 500 passengers, with a network of 200 registered women drivers, according to HerRyde’s former CEO Monsurah Oluwafuyi in an interview with Bendada.com.

"It was a good test phase for us to identify what the key problems were in the industry," Oluwafuyi said. "We found that it was important for us to go back to the drawing board to re-strategise.
