Uber Technologies will cease operations in Nigeria on September 2, 2026, ending its 12-year presence in the country due to operational challenges including rising costs and competition.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 5 sources have reported it between 2 Sep 2026 and 3 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Nigeria's ride-hailing market just lost one of its biggest players. If you build transport platforms or serve ride drivers there, the competitive landscape and provider options have shifted sharply.
