Using Easy Taxi application as a case study, he talked on the idea behind the cab hailing mobile application.

He said: “I noticed the need for comfort, safety and convenience in terms of transportation within the city of Lagos especially during the rush hours of the day and so I did my research on how many people use smart phones and thus the idea of the Easy Taxi App was born”.
