Uber has announced it will discontinue its ride-hailing operations in Nigeria and Uganda, effective September 2, 2026, after 12 years in Nigeria. The decision follows a review of its evolving business priorities and is part of a broader restructuring that includes laying off about 3,300 employees globally. The company stated that the exit is restricted to Nigeria and Uganda and will not affect its operations in other parts of Africa. Uber will maintain support for riders and drivers for 21 days after the wind-down begins.
