Uber plans to cut 3,300 jobs globally, which represents 10% of its workforce, as part of a restructuring under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. ^[1] Uber shut down its ride-hailing services in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect starting September 2, 2026. ^[2] Uber exited Nigeria, ending its ride-hailing and delivery services in the country, which affected small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that relied on Uber drivers for last-mile delivery of products and documents. ^[3] An Uber spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company made the 'difficult decision' after a thorough review of its business and that the move is limited strictly to Nigeria and Uganda. ^[4] CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is shifting resources towards higher-return businesses, including autonomous vehicles, as part of the broader restructuring. ^[5] Bolt operates delivery-related services in some markets, including Bolt Send for on-demand parcel delivery, but its website states that products and features vary by country, so Nigerian SMEs should confirm availability in the Bolt app. ^[6] Kwik Delivery, an on-demand delivery service focused on business-to-business and last-mile deliveries, operates in Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan, and said deliveries can take up to two hours in Lagos and one hour in Abuja and Ibadan, depending on traffic and demand. ^[7] Last-mile logistics remains one of the biggest costs of doing business online in Nigeria; transporting products across Lagos can significantly reduce a seller's margin, and these costs are often passed on to consumers as delivery fees. ^[8]
