Uber is leaving Nigeria after 12 years of service, with its last day of operations on September 2, 2026. The company announced this decision in an email to users, stating it followed a careful examination of its business in the country. Uber started in Lagos in 2014 and became a popular choice for getting rides. In their message, they thanked Nigerians for using their service for everyday travel and expressed regret for any inconvenience this may cause. This exit is a big change in Nigeria's ride-hailing market, where Uber has been a key player alongside other companies. Users are encouraged to reach out to Uber for any account-related questions before September 23, 2026, as they prepare to close down their operations.
