…Says, “it’s tough”
CITIZENS COMPASS— An E-Hailing platform, Uber, on Wednesday, announced the shutdown of its operations in Nigeria and Uganda.
This follows a review of its business, with the ride-hailing company saying it will cease operations in the country effective September 2, 2026.
The company disclosed this in a message to its drivers informing them that they would no longer receive rider trip requests through the Uber app from the effective date.
“We have made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Nigeria, effective September 2, 2026.
“From this date, you will no longer be able to receive rider trip requests through the Uber app,” Uber said.
“We know this is heavy news, and we want to express our deepest gratitude to you for being a part of our journey in Nigeria,” the company said.
“For years, your commitment to your riders has kept this city moving safely and affordably,” it said.
“We are so proud of what the platform has been able to achieve in Nigeria, serving as the technology bridge between riders and your independent services,” Uber said.
“Our Help Center will remain open until 24 September ’26 to assist you with any questions,” the company said.
“Thank you for being a part of the Uber community,” Uber said.
