Uber has officially ceased its ride-hailing operations in Nigeria as of September 2, 2026, ending a 12-year presence that began in Lagos in 2014. The company cited a thorough review of its business and evolving investment priorities as reasons for the exit, while reaffirming its commitment to opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The departure has raised concerns about the future of thousands of riders, drivers, and other stakeholders who relied on the platform. In response, other mobility companies such as Enviable, Bolt, and inDrive are strategically positioned to fill the gap in Nigeria's ride-hailing market.
