Chowdeck CEO Femi Aluko says delivery riders on the food delivery platform earn an average of N100,000 per week. He adds that top-performing riders make significantly more than the average. The statement frames rider earnings as varying based on individual output rather than a fixed weekly wage.
Both outlets report that rider pay is linked to completed deliveries and the distance covered. They also note that riders’ take-home income is affected by expenses, which can reduce what riders receive in practice. While the specific mechanism of deductions is described in general terms, the overall picture across reports is that riders’ weekly earnings fluctuate depending on workload and related costs.
In context, the reports present the figures as part of an explanation of how platform-based earnings are calculated, including the role of delivery metrics and operating expenses. No outlet provides independent verification of the average figure or specific rider breakdowns beyond the CEO’s account.
