  "account": "British-born Nigerian entrepreneurs Ladi Delano and Jide Odunsi are set to conclude Moove's Nigerian operations, six years after launching the company in Lagos. The dissolution will see Moove transfer ownership of eligible vehicles, totaling around N35 billion, to existing customers without any additional charges, starting October 1, 2026. Employees will be rewarded with free cars, a gesture acknowledging the contributions of the Nigerian workforce and customers. Delano, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in establishing and scaling businesses across Africa and Asia, co-founded Moove with Odunsi in 2019. Odunsi, an investment banker and management consultant with a career at Goldman Sachs and McKinsey & Company, brings a wealth of experience in global financial markets and African business development to the venture. Moove, founded in 2020, started with 76 vehicles under a financing model that enabled ride-hailing drivers to earn income while making payments towards vehicle ownership. In August 2026, the company secured $250 million in Series C funding, bringing its valuation to $2.1 billion, positioning it as one of Africa's most valuable technology startups.",
