Ride-hailing company Uber has announced its exit from Nigeria and Uganda, discontinuing operations in both markets effective September 2, 2026.

• This decision ends Uber's 12-year presence in Nigeria and approximately 10 years in Uganda.
• The company stated the withdrawal is limited to these two markets and does not affect its operations elsewhere in Africa.
• The exits coincide with a broader global restructuring at Uber, which includes cutting about 10% of its corporate workforce to redirect resources towards growth and innovation.
