Uber has announced its decision to cease operations in Nigeria, ending a 12-year presence in the country. The ride-hailing company informed customers of its "tough decision" to wind down its operations following a comprehensive review of its business. Uber began operations in Lagos in 2014 and quickly became an integral part of daily transportation for many Nigerians, connecting passengers with independent drivers for various purposes.
In its announcement, Uber expressed gratitude to customers for their trust over the years but acknowledged that its departure may disrupt their routines. The company apologized for the inconvenience and appreciated the role played by users in connecting with drivers and ensuring safe travel.
