Ridesmash Set for Launch in Nigeria, Eyes Expansion to 40 Countries

A new ride-hailing platform, Ridesmash, is set to launch in Nigeria as part of an ambitious strategy to expand into more than 40 countries, with co-founder Eigbefoh Paul Smith leading the initiative’s strategic and operational rollout.



The upcoming mobility platform is entering the market at a time when demand for reliable, technology-driven transportation solutions continues to rise across urban centres in Africa and other regions.


According to the project team, Ridesmash is designed to provide a modern ridesharing experience by connecting passengers with nearby drivers through a digital platform focused on safety, affordability, and convenience.


Ridesmash aims to address transportation challenges faced by commuters by offering a seamless ride-hailing service powered by mobile technology. 


The platform is expected to simplify urban transportation while improving access to dependable mobility services.


Beyond transportation, the company said the platform is also structured to create economic opportunities for drivers and small-scale transport entrepreneurs through flexible income channels enabled by the app’s digital ecosystem.


The initiative is being piloted by co-founder Eigbefoh Paul Smith, who is expected to oversee the platform’s strategic direction and phased expansion.


Under his leadership, Ridesmash is positioning itself as a competitive entrant in the mobility sector, with a focus on combining transportation services with broader digital entrepreneurship opportunities.


The company said the platform will prioritise innovation, driver welfare, and customer satisfaction, to build a balanced ecosystem that benefits both riders and drivers.


Nigeria will serve as the first market for the platform’s rollout, with plans already underway to scale operations into over 40 countries.


The expansion strategy, according to the company, is designed to establish Ridesmash as a global mobility solution capable of addressing transportation needs in both emerging and developed markets.


As part of its growth model, the platform intends to work with local drivers, transport operators, and investors in each market to support adoption and long-term sustainability.


Industry observers say platforms like Ridesmash could contribute to job creation and deepen the adoption of smart mobility solutions, especially in countries where urban transport demand is rising rapidly.


By enabling drivers to earn income through digital platforms, Ridesmash is expected to support entrepreneurship while contributing to the broader growth of the digital economy.


The company also believes its model can help improve access to more reliable transportation services for commuters while encouraging innovation in the ride-hailing and urban mobility space.


With preparations underway for its official debut, Ridesmash is seeking to establish itself as a significant player in the evolving global mobility industry.


Backed by an aggressive international growth plan and a technology-focused operating model, the platform is aiming to redefine ridesharing by combining accessibility, scalability, and digital innovation.



As the launch approaches, the company says Ridesmash represents a bold move toward building a globally connected mobility platform that simplifies transportation and empowers drivers across multiple markets.
