President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms have been criticized by Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate. Atiku claims these reforms are having a negative impact, killing jobs and driving businesses out of the country. His comments come after the exit of a global ride-hailing company from Nigeria.
The company, Uber, ended its 12-year operations, citing a review of its business priorities and investment focus across Africa. Atiku attributes Uber's exit to passengers being unable to afford fares and drivers not earning enough to support their families.
Further details on Atiku's statement and Uber's exit are available from the source. Atiku's spokesman, Phrank Shaibu, released a statement on the matter, providing more information on the former Vice President's views.
