The Chief Executive Officer of Chowdeck, Femi Aluko, has revealed how much delivery riders on the platform reportedly earn.
Aluko disclosed during an interview with Channels that Chowdeck riders earn an average of N100,000 every week, while the highest-performing riders can make considerably more.
The revelation came when the interviewer expressed surprise that riders using bicycles could potentially earn about N400,000 in a month.

How the riders make their money
According to Aluko, a rider’s income is largely determined by the number of deliveries completed and the distance travelled.
He explained that riders are paid based on kilometres covered, meaning those who complete more deliveries and travel longer distances have greater earning potential.
Aluko stated:
“Chowdeck riders earn an average of N100,000 per week while staying fit. The best ones make much higher than that. It’s a game of numbers.”
But there is a catch. The CEO acknowledged that the reported earnings do not represent pure profit, as riders have expenses to handle, including maintaining their bicycles.
