If there is one qualification many Lagosians already have, it is surviving wahala.
Every day, millions of residents navigate gridlocked roads, unexpected rainstorms, tight schedules, unexpected disruptions, and the countless surprises that come with living and working in Africa’s largest city. These daily challenges have a name that everyone understands instantly: wahala. Now, mobility and delivery platform inDrive is turning that daily experience into an unusual recruitment exercise by launching a search for Lagos’ first-ever Chief Wahala Officer.
The initiative is designed to spotlight the everyday transport and delivery challenges faced by Lagos residents while highlighting practical ways people can navigate them.
The company says the Chief Wahala Officer role represents someone who understands the realities of moving around Lagos and finding solutions when things do not go according to plan.
Spending hours in traffic and managing urgent deliveries for customers have made Lagosians experts at adapting to unexpected situations. The Chief Wahala Officer hiring taps into that experience by searching for people who understand the city, its rhythms, and the challenges that come with it.
