Firm to revolutionise informal transportation, logistics

LisBon, a visionary tech startup, is set to revolutionize informal transport, logistics and trade with the launch of a public testing phase on November 18, 2024. The testing will take place across Asaba, Warri and Abraka in Delta State, Nigeria.

The company aims to revolutionize the global informal transport, logistics, and trade sectors, beginning in Nigeria, with a vision to unify Africa into one interconnected market as it expands worldwide.

LisBon is more than just an e-hailing app—it’s a secure, rewarding ecosystem where users and drivers earn for life. Recognized by industry analysts as one of the most secure and rewarding transport systems in the world, LisBon operated with only verified drivers. It verified users, setting new standards for safety, sustainability, and long-term benefits.

The LisBon App connects all types of vehicles—cars, buses, trucks, minibuses, tricycles, and bikes—for both passenger and goods transport, rewarding both drivers and users. After each ride, users receive credits toward their next trip, while drivers benefit from cumulative yearly allowances and can qualify for a retirement pension after eight years of driving on the LisBon platform.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Alpha Okechukwu, said: “We don’t sell transportation. We don’t sell logistics. We don’t sell trade. We don’t sell e-commerce. What LisBon sells is wealth, comfort, and security. That’s LisBon’s market. So LisBon keeps you safe and saves you money while you are making your money and at the same time, gives you a sense of better comfort while you make more money.”

While growing up, Okechukwu had a messianic complex for his country, Nigeria, and the continent partly fuelled by his grandfather’s prophecy that he would do great things for his people.
