The Growth

Gokada’s services include instant parcel delivery, food delivery, ride-hailing, and more. Currently headquartered in Lagos, Gokada is in the process of expanding to other cities.

Our Story

2017

Gokada is the brainchild of our Late Founder, Fahim Saleh. The vision was to help Lagosians move around faster and not worry about getting stuck in traffic.

2018

Gokada initially started with about 8 pilots (we proudly call our riders pilots!) in January 2018 as a bike-hailing company. In January 2020, the Lagos state government banned bikes “Okada” from operating on the major roads and highways in the state.

2020

After the ban, Gokada promptly pivoted into logistics in March 2020, right in time for the pandemic. Since then, Gokada has completed more than a million deliveries in less than a year, with a fleet of over 1200 riders.

Gokada has also branched out to other ventures such as -->
