Uber Leaves Nigeria, Then Offers Some Drivers ₦40,000

Uber may have left Nigeria, but the ride-hailing company is making one final payment to some of its drivers. Days after ending its Nigerian operations, Uber has offered selected drivers a one-off payment of ₦40,000 as a “goodwill gesture.” The payment follows Uber’s sudden exit from Nigeria and Uganda on September 2, 2026. The company had told drivers that it would make a final payment but did not initially reveal the amount or when they would receive it.
