Uber exit exposes Nigeria’s transport, regulatory gaps — Oye

Dele Oye, Chairman of the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics, stated that Uber's exit after 12 years in Nigeria has exposed gaps in the country's transport and regulatory system. He emphasized the need for a review of regulations concerning emerging mobility platforms, stressing that regulation should protect security and public interest without creating barriers to competition. Oye also noted that Uber's decision was not solely linked to recent FAAN directives regarding e-hailing operations at airports.
