Why Uber left Nigeria - FAAN

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) denied responsibility for Uber's exit from Nigeria, which ended its operations on September 2, 2026, after 12 years. FAAN's Managing Director, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, stated that Uber's decision was likely based on economic and regulatory considerations. She also mentioned passenger complaints about negative experiences with e-hailing platforms, including cases of intimidation and being dropped off at unintended locations.
