Uber has ended its services in Nigeria, marking the conclusion of over 12 years of presence in the country. This decision comes as the company faces operating challenges and the impact of high oil prices.
The ride-hailing app announced its withdrawal from both Nigeria and Uganda, but did not provide details on the number of drivers affected by this move.
Uber’s departure from Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and third-largest economy, surprised drivers and passengers alike. Many drivers reported learning about the shutdown in real time, with minimal prior notice. Passengers shared experiences of receiving notifications mid-ride.
