Fusion42 · 2 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

Uber announced it is exiting the Nigerian market after 12 years of operation, effective 2 September 2026, citing a business review. The exit will reduce competition in Nigeria's ride-hailing sector and follow a broader company layoff of about 10% of its global workforce.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Uber leaving Nigeria frees up market space for local and regional ride-hailing players to grow quickly. If you build mobility services there, this opening demands swift moves to capture Uber’s orphaned users and drivers.
