Commuters were greeted by a blank screen and the message "No trips available" on their apps. This occurred after Uber ceased operations in Nigeria and Uganda, following 12 years in the region. The shutdown coincided with the company's global restructuring, which included cutting roughly 3,300 corporate jobs.

Uber's decision to exit these markets is part of a larger pattern, as the company had previously pulled out of Côte d'Ivoire and Tanzania. The company is redirecting its focus towards autonomous vehicle infrastructure in other regions.

Further details on Uber's withdrawal from Nigeria and Uganda are available, including the company's plans for its global operations.
