Gokada Rides Ltd., a Nigerian ride-hailing firm, is bolstering its e-commerce and food delivery business with an app to lure users in Africa’s biggest economy.

The startup diversified into last-mile delivery and logistics last year after Lagos state banned motorbike-taxi services. Gokada also plans to re-introduce its bike transportation in Ogun and Oyo states, where they are still allowed to operate.
