The Dreamcount Homecoming Tour by the iconic Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has come to an end. While many focused on the events, speeches, and emotions it stirred, a critical part of the tour remained behind the scenes – transport.
According to Great Nwakaibeya, Co-Founder and Managing Director, GTi Rides, “The task went beyond merely providing Vehicles. We weren’t just transporting people, we were moving a mission,” Mr. Nwakaibeya said. “Chimamanda’s return was a national moment. We saw ourselves as enablers of something bigger than logistics. Our role was to ensure that all ran seamlessly so her team could focus on inspiring and engaging Nigerians.”
GTi Rides planned the routes, monitored traffic, and responded to changes. In Nigeria, where road transport often comes with challenges such as traffic, poor road conditions, and last-minute changes, the company delivered seamlessly. From hotel check-ins to event arrivals, airport pickups to inter-city transfers, the company took responsibility for each move. The aim was to make sure each stop of the tour went according to plan.
“Legacy speaks to honouring Nigerian voices like hers. Creativity is how we planned, adapted, and executed with care. That’s what we do and what we believe in as a company committed to progress and national pride,” Mr Nwakaibeya revealed.
GTi Rides handled multiple moving parts, including changes in venue and timing, with teams on standby to adapt. They ensured that the tour schedule was maintained and that each engagement happened without incident.
For the company, the tour was not just a project. It was a chance to take part in a story about identity and return. “It reminded us that transport is not just about getting people from point A to B, it’s about enabling moments that matter,” Mr Nwakaibeya added.
The Dreamcount tour gave GTi Rides a platform, and a test of purpose. As the author travelled to meet people, share stories, and reflect on home, GTi Rides was there to move her and the message. The company says it hopes Nigerians will see comfortable transportation not as a luxury, but as a basic human need.
“We want Nigerians to see us not just as drivers or logistics experts, but as partners in purpose. When a message needs to move, we’re here to move it with care, dignity, and reliability.”
