After a thorough review, Uber has announced its decision to wind down operations in Nigeria, effective September 2, 2026. This announcement comes as part of a reflection on the company’s business trajectory since its launch in Lagos in 2014.

Uber expresses gratitude towards its users for allowing it to be part of their daily lives, whether for morning commutes, visits to loved ones, or city explorations. The company recognizes that this tough decision may disrupt routines of many users and extends apologies for the inconvenience caused. To mitigate the impacts, Uber emphasizes its commitment to support drivers, riders, and local team members during this transition period.
