Behind every Fast Buka order is a hero on two wheels: the delivery rider.
Meet Sule, a 27-year-old graduate who once struggled to find work after university.
For years, he hustled as a keke driver, making just enough to pay rent in a small room in Surulere. Life felt like a cycle—wake up, hustle, get exhausted, repeat. Then one day, while waiting for passengers, he overheard two riders talking about Fast Buka’s new delivery network. They mentioned better pay, flexible hours, and a chance to earn bonuses based on deliveries.
Sule decided to give it a try.
His first week, he made 35 deliveries, zooming through Lagos traffic with bags of fresh vegetables, rice, and sometimes even crates of eggs balanced carefully. At the end of the week, he earned more than he ever did driving keke for the entire month.
What shocked him most wasn’t just the money, but the respect. Customers often thanked him warmly, children waved when he arrived with groceries, and small tips added up. He wasn’t just a rider anymore—he was a lifeline between market women, farmers, and families who depended on Fast Buka.
Today, Sule has saved enough to support his younger brother in school and is working on buying his own bike. He dreams of one day running a small logistics company of his own, inspired by the opportunity Fast Buka gave him.
In Africa’s growing digital economy, Sule’s story is proof that innovation creates jobs where there were none before. Every order placed doesn’t just feed families—it fuels careers, opportunities, and dreams.
