TREKK E-SCOOTERS: From the Street of Paris to Africa

Published

on

Trekk is Africa’s first electric scooter sharing platform founded in 2020. It is created to lead the conscious transition towards an eco-friendly and technology-driven mobility era across Africa and beyond with core values based on Integrity, Accountability, Community, Eco friendly, and Innovation. Trekk is a Nigeria based, modern transportation company solely leveraging on improved technology and talents to redefine the traditional, arduous means of people’s movement. Trekk e-scooter expresses the mindset that things are changing in the world today: a change of political and economic policies that guides diplomatic relations, a systematic departure from the educational, technological and socio-cultural norms. This e-scooter is “a new way to TREKK” that seeks to innovate and revolutionize the means by which Nigerians navigate around their daily activities but which would have, half a century ago, been termed a sacrilege to the transportation system in the Nigerian society and beyond.

According to The Sustainable Development Goals report in 2019, it shows that only half (53%) of urban residents have convenient access to public transport, 9 out of 10 urban residents breathe polluted air, the global mean temperature in 2018 is approximately 1ºC above the pre-industrial baseline, climate -related and geophysical disasters claimed an estimated 1.3 million lives between 1998 and 2017, to limit global warming to 1.5ºC, global carbon emission need to fall to 55% of 2010 levels by 2030 and continue a steep decline to zero net emissions by 2050. Thus, Trekk scooters aim at redefining communities’ access to smart and affordable mobility. Using an efficient, fun and environmentally friendly means of transport, to build better people, communities and a greener earth. From one community to another, Trekk will make the world a better place to live in.

TREKK is transforming campuses, universities, and their surrounding communities by offering accessible, affordable & environmentally-friendly forms of personal mobility. With it’s community centric approach and a way to give back to the host community, it offers “Work and Earn with TREKK ” programme. An engagement which it believes would absorb about 20% – 30% of the student population on campus while engaging them in various entrepreneurship ideation schemes. This it believes will not only pay weekly stipends to the students but also help empower them. Most especially the computer science and engineering departments will be trained to work on the backend infrastructure and various aspects of the project such as maintenance, repairs, reverse engineering, IOT, e.t.c.

At Trekk scooters, the goal is to deploy 1, 200 e-scooters in 1 year to reach masses of Nigerian universities, students, estates and residents. We have been able to target closed communities, specifically universities campuses and residential estates with good infrastructures such as Redeemer’s University, Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, LAUTECH, Lead City University, Covenant University, BOWEN University, Afe Babalola University, Adeleke University, Victoria Garden City, Omole Estate Phase 2 among others.

By 2030, the United Nations seeks to provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport. Therefore, Trekk is partnering with the United Nations to achieve this goal through smart-scooter sharing technology enabling individuals to commute, keep fit and enjoy leisure within eco-friendly communities.
Trekk e-scooters comprises cutting-edge technology that uses an IOT device for: Tracking, geolocalization and geofencing. TREKK e-scooters can be easily accessed through the TREKK Mobile app (iOS and Android). In order to use one of the scooters, riders scan the QR code on the handlebars to begin a ride.
With the affordable service fees, the aim of the company is to make everyone ride and be conscious of their carbon footprint in communities across Nigeria. When a ride is completed, users must park the scooter in designated parking locations and take a photo to confirm the end of the ride.

Furthermore, risk and compliance safety measures, that is, wearing of helmet for all the riders, riding in designated lanes with a regulated speed limit of 20km/h are compulsory for all riders. Users are asked to clean the handlebars before and after riding especially during this period of COVID-19. Trekk Scooters offers on-site maintenance for scooters to make adjustments, repairs, inspection and cleaning of scooters. Maintenance is carried out daily on the fleet and also on-demand as requested by the community.
Isaac, one of the founding members and CEO, believes that E-scooters have been hugely successful in many advanced countries around the world. “We know here in Africa, our people also want to use it to get around and that can be a stepping stone to encouraging people to use cars less for short distance trips, local journeys and ride more TREKK scooters.” The CEO also expresses his optimism that the student community will welcome the use of TREKK and that it will help provide some convenience and excitement in the return to campus during these uncertain times. “E-scooters could play a role as a vital part of everyday journeys – particularly the first and last miles between home, transport hubs like bus and train stations, and in the University community as an alternative transportation means”.

Owolabi Salis: The Nigerian of Many Firsts

Published

on

By

By Eric Elezuo

A few days ago, Nigerians and indeed the entire world rose to celebrate a citizen of value, Chief Owolabi Salis, for becoming the first Nigerian to travel to space. But what many did not know is that the unassuming mega professional has a lot of firsts in his kitty; firsts that he hardly makes noise about.

Salis’ life has been one of transformation, transmuting from the courtroom as a ‘super lawyer’ to a politician, where he once eyed the seat of power in Lagos State, and now to an adventurer, floating at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere.

Salis, in one of the exclusive interviews he granted The Punch noted that traveling to space is just one of the many adventural firsts he has recorded in his life of impact.

“I’ve had a lot of firsts, only that I don’t make noise. I was the first Nigerian also to go to the South Pole and the North Pole within a season. The Russian people also told me I was the first Nigerian to take the nuclear icebreaker to the North Pole. I’m probably the first Nigerian to visit the two ice sheets in the world.

There are two ice sheets in the world – Antarctica and Greenland. So, I’m probably also the first Nigerian to visit Mars on Earth. There is a place in Antarctica, they call it Elephant Head; it is in Union Glacier. The condition there, we were told, is the same condition on Mars,” he revealed.

He added, “I’ve been to the North Pole, South Pole and Greenland; those are critical places in the world. I have been to space, and I have been under the ocean too. There are other Islands, a lot of small Islands surrounded by the ocean that are very spiritual.”

He had always maintained that his journeys are spiritual undertakings that are meant to elevate his spiritual outlook, and innovate more of the wonders of God.

“This mission is more than just a trip into space, it’s a spiritual journey, a call to inspire future generations…a convergence of science and spirit,” he said before liftoff.

Describing the journey as a historic first, not only for Salis, but for Nigeria, Space in Africa platform, said the Ikorodu-Lagos born explorer is a champion of community development and youth empowerment, who hopes his historic flight will ignite interest in space exploration across Africa.

It further noted, “Furthermore, Salis’ flight marks a key moment for Nigeria and Africa, demonstrating growing participation in space endeavours. His safe return sparked celebrations in Nigeria, with many hailing him as a national hero.

“The NS-33 mission patch featured green rings symbolising Earth’s horizon and the Kármán line, reflecting humanity’s quest to push boundaries. Blue Origin’s New Shepard programme continues to advance private spaceflight, offering research opportunities and citizen astronaut experiences. With 33 successful flights, the company remains a leader in reusable rocket technology and commercial space tourism. As interest in space grows across Africa, Salis’ journey may pave the way for more Africans, ushering in a new chapter of global inclusivity in space exploration.”

As a testament to the enduring impact and love the inimitable Speaker of the Osun House, Rt. Hon Adewale Olumide Egbedun, has garnered from those around him, and beyond, a heartfelt thanksgiving service and sumptuous reception were organised to celebrate his entry into the ruby age.

Consequently, the beautiful city of Osogbo became abuzz as residents and well-wishers across the country gathered to celebrate the charismatic Speaker as he clocked 40 – a milestone birthday celebrating a legacy of dedication and service.

With the background belief that his existence and achievements in life are traceable to one source, Egbedun spared no expence to return all the glory to God Almighty. He therefore, kickstarted the celebrations with a thanksgiving service.

Attended by prominent figures from Nigeria’s political and economic spheres, the day’s festivities commenced with the arrival of the charismatic celebrant at African Church, Asi, Osun State, where the thanksgiving service was held in his honour.

As the congregation rose to welcome him, the celebrant took to the podium to deliver the Read Only Lesson, showcasing his spiritual eloquence. Before sharing his reflections, he regaled the audience with his favorite hymn, filling the sanctuary with soulful harmony.

In a heartfelt and inspiring sermon, Archbishop Michael Adeyemi, a revered spiritual leader, highlighted the Speaker’s virtues, accomplishments and unwavering commitment to public service- words that visibly moved the congregation, underscoring the significance of gratitude and celebration.

Following the thanksgiving service, guests made their way to the Oasis Event Centre, Oroki Extensive, Osogbo, where a lavish reception awaited. The event kicked off with an opening prayer, setting the tone for a joyous celebration.

In commemoration of the special occasion, the celebrant received a special birthday message from the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke. The message signed by Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Spokesperson to the Osun State Governor read:

“It’s hearty for me to celebrate an exceptional legislator, Rt. Hon. Olumide Adewale Egbedun, as he turns 40 years old today. While many may see the numbers, I see the lives that the numbers counted for, the contributions to our dear state that made up the numbers, and the inspiration that his life serves to many.

“From the time that the baton of leadership has been passed on to him, Rt. Hon. Egbedun has been remarkable, coordinating the House of Assembly in such a way that it aligns with our administration’s efforts to transform lives and move Osun state forward. I’m particularly impressed by the Speaker’s ability to foster cooperation and unite interests for the common good of impacting lives.

“As he turns 40 today, I want to take a moment to compliment him for his sincerity of purpose and the unwavering dedication to shaping the state’s future. It is my prayer that God grants him many more happy and rewarding years just as it is my hope that he will continue to make meaningful contributions, not just for Osun state, but Nigeria as a whole.”

Governor Adeleke recognises the Speaker’s down-to-earth nature and a remarkable sense of purpose, expressing his deep admiration for the celebrant’s ability to bring diverse perspectives together to drive the objective of moving Osun state forward.

The Governor salutes Speaker Egbedun for the remarkable leadership he has shown in the House of Assembly, fostering cooperation through dialogue, acknowledging the pivotal role that the 8th Assembly under the Speaker’s guidance has played in the monumental achievements recorded by this administration.

Also celebrating the young Speaker, the Osun Amotekun Corps, in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer, Idowu Abass, the Board Chairman, AIG Wale Abbas (Rtd), alongside the Corps Commander, Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, praised Egbedun for his outstanding leadership, unwavering commitment to democratic values, and his continued support for the advancement of security and good governance in Osun State.

Describing the Speaker as a man of the people and a progressive legislator, the Amotekun Corps leadership commended Egbedun’s instrumental role in the swift and successful passage of the amendment to the Osun Amotekun Corps Constitution. The amendment has significantly strengthened the legal and operational framework of the Corps, thereby enabling it to effectively discharge its constitutional responsibilities in safeguarding lives and properties across the state.

“The Osun Amotekun Corps acknowledges with deep appreciation the leadership qualities of Rt. Hon. Egbedun, particularly his understanding of the importance of local security initiatives and his resolve to support institutions working towards the protection of our communities,” the statement read.

“As Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, his legislative insight and people-oriented approach continue to inspire a new generation of leaders across Osun State. His dedication to upholding laws that foster security, peace, and development reflects his deep commitment to the growth and welfare of our dear state.”

The Corps leadership further wished Speaker Egbedun good health, more wisdom, and greater accomplishments in the years ahead as he continues to serve the people of Osun State with passion and distinction.

Happy 40th Birthday, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun!

Everyone, including Yeyeluwa Modupeola Adeleke-Sanni, who was given an opportunity to share their thoughts about the Speaker spoke glowingly, praising his role in good leadership, dedication and steadfast commitment to public service.

The highlight of the evening was the cake-cutting ceremony supervised by the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Anchored by Olalekan Fabilola (Masoyinbo), the evening was filled with laughter, music and merriment as guests were treated to a sumptuous spread of delectable cuisines and refreshing drinks.

The atmosphere was electric as the duo of renowned artists Dr. Yinka Ayefele and SB Live took to the stage to deliver captivating performances with their infectious rhythms and melodies.

In response, Hon Adewale Egbedun expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his family, friends, colleagues and well-wishers for making his 40th birthday a memorable occasion.

Hon Egbedun was born on June 29, 1985, becoming the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly at the age of 38 in June 2023.

He had his tertiary education at the University of East London, after a successful stint of elementary and secondary education in Nigeria. He is a holder of Business Information Systems degree.

A first term member of the House, representing Odo-Otin State Constituency, Egbedun’s nomination to the speakership position speaks volumes of his charisma, indepth strength and zeal to deliver.

He had stated in his acceptance speech that the 8th assembly would prioritize workers welfare and citizens lives, improve infrastructure…

A thoroughbred individual, Hon Egbedun deserves all his flowers as he waddle through the ruby ages.

Congratulations sir!
