With Uber gone, Bolt says Nigeria “remains an important market”

Bolt, the Estonian ride-hailing company, says it will stay in Nigeria and continue investing after rival Uber’s suprising exit. In a statement shared with TechCabal on Wednesday night, Bolt described Nigeria as an important market for its growth. Uber’s departure leaves Bolt as the other major international ride-hailing platform serving Nigeria, putting the company in a position to potentially capture drivers and riders who previously relied on its rival.
