FCCPC CEO Tunji Bello revealed this during an interview with Bloomberg, emphasizing the commission's interest in Uber's obligations to consumers after ceasing operations. Uber announced its exit on September 2, 2026, citing a 'thorough review' and stating the decision was limited to Nigeria and Uganda.

The FCCPC's probe aims to assess Uber's compliance with consumer protection laws during its exit.
