FCCPC probes Uber over abrupt Nigeria exit

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) in Nigeria has launched an investigation into Uber's sudden departure from the country, focusing on how the company addressed unfulfilled services to customers. 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 move has led rivals like Bolt and inDrive to plan expansions in the Nigerian market. Uber, which had operated in Nigeria since over a decade, faced ongoing disputes with drivers regarding fares, commission rates, and working conditions, including multiple protest actions in 2017, 2023, and 2025. The FCCPC's probe aims to assess Uber's compliance with consumer protection laws during its exit.
