How NURTW Can Create a Bigger Transport Company Than Uber

According to him they(Abuja colored taxi) have the data of all their taxis and drivers and no crime can be committed that won’t be traced (hence the Uber reference). He complained about Uber taking their customers (money) he totally forgot that Uber has the data of every single driver, their cars are preferred and only operate in certain areas not all round Abuja.
