About Maidride
Moving
Maiduguri
Forward.
Maidride is a ride-hailing company built from scratch, in Maiduguri, for the people of Maiduguri — and eventually, for all of Nigeria.
Mission
Safe, reliable
mobility for everyone.
To provide safe, affordable, and dependable transportation that empowers the people of Maiduguri — whether they are commuting to work, visiting family, or running a business.
Vision
Nigeria's homegrown
ride-hailing company.
To become the leading ride-hailing company in northern Nigeria and, ultimately, across the entire country — a Nigerian brand Nigerians are proud of.
Our Story
Maiduguri needed something built for it. So we built it.
Maidride was founded because the existing options were not built with Maiduguri in mind. Riders had few reliable choices. Drivers had no structured platform to earn from. The city deserved better.
We are a local company. Our team knows these streets, these neighborhoods, and the real transportation challenges that people face every day. That local knowledge is what makes Maidride different — and what will help us scale the right way.
What We Stand For
Four things we
will not compromise on.
Safety above everything
We do not compromise on who gets to drive. Every driver is verified. Every ride is monitored. That is non-negotiable.
Built for this city
Maiduguri is not an afterthought. The app, the pricing, the support — everything was designed knowing the reality of this city.
Honest pricing
You see the fare before you confirm. No mystery charges. No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.
Driver dignity
Our drivers are not numbers. They are partners. We built the platform so that driving for Maidride is worth their time.
