Sandra, a National Diploma graduate of accounting, Yaba College of Technology in Lagos State, claims she works with Gokada as an IT staff.
The Gokada rider in the video appealed that the state government should regulate the riders on how they move around with their motorcycles and tricycle rather than ban them.
Explaining why she decided to work with Gokada as a staff, Sandra disclosed that white collar jobs that were available to her were not attractive in terms of payment.
Sandra further revealed that some employers pay N20,000 as salary, the same amount she earns per day while working with Gokada as an IT staff.
She added that;
My friends are aware that this is what I do. They have been asking me what I will do if the Government takes the job from me but I keep telling them that we will resolve it.
Please government, resolve it and for the fact that I am a female and I am doing this job. I am not the only female, we have women out there, single mothers who train their children with the job. If you take this job from us, there is nothing we can do again.
Her appealing video went viral and got the attention of Kokun Foundation whom requested for her contact information on its Instagram page.
Kokun Foundation shared a new video on Tuesday, February 4, 2020, where it gifted Sandra a brand new Toyota Camry 2004 model for Ulber to help her actualize her dreams
