Uber has abruptly exited Nigeria's ride-hailing market without prior notice to drivers, prompting condemnation from the Amalgamated Union of App-Based Transporters of Nigeria (AUATON), which accuses Uber and similar platforms Bolt and InDrive of poor driver treatment and warns of consequences without collective bargaining.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must engage with unions now to secure market access in Nigeria’s ride-hailing sector or risk being shut out like Uber. Bolt and InDrive face a deadline to cooperate or lose drivers and customers fast.
