Uber ceases operations in Nigeria, catching drivers and riders by surprise

Uber abruptly ended its operations in Nigeria on Wednesday after more than 12 years of building its presence in Africa’s most populous country and third-largest economy.
Drivers for the San Francisco-based multinational ride-hailing app said they learned of the decision in real time, with little warning. Some passengers told local media outlets they were en route via Uber when they received notice.
