By the campaign’s end, over 2,000 students are expected to have benefited, with one lucky participant set to win a grand prize of ₦100,000.
Supporting Youth Entrepreneurship at Ibadan Startup Fest
inDrive is a proud partner of the Ibadan Startup Fest, which took place on November 29-30, 2024, at the International Conference Centre, Ibadan. This event brought together thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators.
inDrive’s contributions include:
- 50% Cashback on Rides: Registered attendees received cashback on rides to the venue, redeemable by presenting their inDrive receipts.

Timothy Oladimeji, inDrive’s Country Representative in Nigeria, emphasized the company’s dedication to fairness, innovation, and community-driven empowerment.
“At inDrive, we believe in fairness and community-driven change. Through initiatives like ‘Level Up Your Drive’ and our partnership with Ibadan Startup Fest, we’re empowering students and young entrepreneurs to connect, innovate, and thrive,” he said.
inDrive plans to expand its “Level Up Your Drive” program to other institutions, including the University of Benin and the University of Port Harcourt, by early 2025, amplifying its impact on Nigeria’s youth and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
