FCCPC investigates Uber exit from Nigeria
Nigeria's consumer regulator, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, has opened an investigation into Uber's abrupt withdrawal from Nigeria, focusing on customers who paid for or expected services that went unfulfilled after the company halted operations on September 2, 2026, the FCCPC chief Tunji Bello told Bloomberg. Uber said the exit formed part of a wider restructuring that also included winding down Uganda operations and cutting over 3,000 jobs worldwide. The probe could determine whether Uber met consumer protection obligations and whether further regulatory action or remedies are required; rivals Bolt and inDrive are moving to capture displaced customers and drivers.
