Join me to congratulate Tekedia Capital portfolio startup, Eonsfleet, led by Tokunbo Arannilewa, for closing a massive deal with Fola Tinubu led Primero. Together, they bring new domains of technology in the transportation sector in Africa. Primero operates and coordinates the largest fleet of buses in continental Africa and expects to move at least one million passengers per day. Eonfleet’s technology will bring harmony and accelerate efficiency. Read the two leaders:
“The Primero- Eonsfleet partnership is a powerful synergy. Primero’s understanding of complex transportation interactions, its deep mobility expertise, and its agile, collaborative approach is uniquely complementary to how a Primero team works. Technology is the driving force of everything we do in transportation. It drives the ticketing, scheduling, monitoring, etc. Technology makes the system more efficient and must be incorporated in transportation” said Fola Tinubu, MD, Primero.
