Revolutionizing transportation for a connected world
Public road transportation in Nigeria could be very shambolic. You’d escape the stress if only you are lucky to find one of the few available semi-modern vehicles to ride in. But one of the ways to have the real experience of luxury public road transportation in Nigeria is to travel by Enviable Transport, renowned not just as transporters, but also as a company of innovators, disruptors and visionaries.
Established with a passion for transforming the way people move, Enviable Transport has redefined the very essence of transportation, making it easy, comfortable, pleasurable, and unique for all stakeholders. Its vision extends beyond mere transportation; it envisions a better Nigeria, where the way people move is seamless, efficient, and transformative. The company regards movement not just as a service it provides but as a passion, mission, and a commitment to progress.
His hard work paid off as he incorporated Enviable Transport services Limited in 2018 with headquarters in Umuahia North, Abia State, and transitioned from operating tricycles to owning a fleet of exotic vehicles. Enviable’s commitment to innovation and sustainability led to a partnership with Wuling Motors Indonesia, introducing electric vehicles (EVs) to Nigeria’s transportation sector. This initiative addresses issues like fuel scarcity and environmental concerns while offering luxury, affordability, and safety. Today, the company has expanded its operations across Nigeria, including branches in Port Harcourt, Lagos, Abakiliki and Asaba. The Abuja branch, launched in March 2024, marked a significant milestone with the introduction of Electric Vehicles (EVs).
The brain behind Enviable Transport company which promises to be the ultimate in luxury road transportation in Nigeria is no other than a 29-year-old business prodigy who cut his entrepreneurial teeth way back in his undergraduate days. Ituma Chukwuemeka, gifted with a nose for sniffing out business opportunities, discovered he could make money providing solution to inter-campus transportation challenges of fellow students. He began by using a motorcycle for transporting students to and from campus lodges. His exceptional customer service and dedication led to him acquiring a tricycle (Keke Napep) through a hire purchase agreement. Over time, he grew his fleet of tricycles and began offering hire-purchase opportunities to others.
The Chief Executive said he founded Enviable Transport with the vision of revolutionizing ransportation, setting new standards of excellence and redefining the future of mobility. It’s mission is to seamlessly connect people, places, possibilities, and logistics services, empowering individuals and businesses to thrive in a dynamic, interconnected world. The company offers modern electric vehicles, crossover utility vehicles (CUVs), and premium travel experiences. It also provides investment opportunities for individuals interested in the transportation sector, further solidifying its position as a leader in luxury and sustainable transportation.

According to Chukwuemeka, the company is built on a foundation of three core values, namely: driving progress, unwavering dedication, global connectivity and the speed of now. He describes movement as the lifeblood which flows through the company’s veins, driving it to innovate, evolve, and redefine the transportation landscape. “Every morning, our team rises with a singular focus: to enable better, smoother, and more accessible journeys for every individual, business, and the community they serve.”
