“Whether it was a morning commute, a ride to see loved ones, or exploring the city, thank you for trusting the platform to connect you to a driver to get you there safely.
“We know this may cause disruption to your routine, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”
Uber said the company’s help centre will be available until September 23 to assist customers with any final account queries.
“Thank you for welcoming us into your city,” the company added.
The firm’s operations have faced challenges in Nigeria, with drivers protesting fares, commission rates, and poor treatment in 2017, 2023, and 2025.
