Nigeria has a terrible road network, one of the worst in Africa, which is one of the biggest problems plaguing last-mile delivery in the country.

In Nigeria, quick delivery is difficult due to the many challenges with road and traffic issues, especially in major cities like Lagos, which is one of the most congested in the world. Commuters spend a minimum of 3 hours in traffic daily, and for a logistics business, this translates to less productivity and increased operational costs. Traffic congestion and a bad road network have remained the biggest pain points in logistics management, because, beyond increasing operational costs, they nullify delivery estimates and predictions, breaking the system flow of deliveries and leading to dissatisfied customers.
