Uber-ka ayaa ka baxay Nijeriya iyo Uganda, waxayna ku dhamaatay adeegyadeeda gaadiidka
Shirkadda gaadiidka ee Uber ayaa sheegtay inay ka baxday Nijeriya iyo Uganda, iyadoo adeegyadeeda gaadiidka ku dhamaatay labada suuq ee Afrika. Tani waxay ku timid kadib baaritaan ay sameysay shirkaddu oo ku saabsan xaaladda ganacsigeeda.
Sababaha bixinta iyo xaaladda Nijeriya
Uber ayaa sheegtay in go'aankeeda uu ka yimid baaritaan ay sameysay ganacsigeeda, iyadoo xaaladdu ay adkaatay kadib markii Nijeriya ay 2023-kii ka qaaday dhaqaalaha petroolka, taasoo keentay in qiimayaasha gaadiidka iyo noloshu ay kordhaan.
Shirkaddu waxay Nijeriya ku bilowday 2014, iyadoo 2019-kii ay ku dartay adeeg badda ee magaalada Lagos si looga fogaado baaxadda waddooyinka.
Kala guurka iyo saameynta Uganda
Uganda, oo ay Uber ku bilowday 2016, waxaa la filayaa in adeegyada kale sida Bolt, SafeBoda iyo Faras ay ku biiraan suuqa ka dib bixinta Uber.
Xaaladdu waxay sii xumaatay kadib markii Nijeriya ay ka qaaday dhaqaalaha petroolka, taasoo keentay in qiimayaasha gaadiidka iyo noloshu ay kordhaan.
Saameynta guud ee Afrika
Bixinta Nijeriya iyo Uganda waxay ku soo beegmaysaa xilligii ay Uber ka baxday Koonfurta Afrika iyo Tansaaniya, iyadoo hadda ay ku shaqeyso dalka Afrika ee kaliya saddex dalkood: Masar, Ghana, Kenya iyo Koonfur Afrika.
Shirkaddu waxay sheegtay inay taageerayso macaamiisha iyo shaqaalaha saameysan, iyadoo adeegyadeedu ay sii socdaan ilaa 23-ka September.
Uber has ended its ride-hailing operations in Nigeria and Uganda, citing a business review that points to rising costs and fierce competition as key factors behind the exit from the two markets.
A Long History in Two Markets Ends
Uber first entered Nigeria in 2014 and Uganda in 2016, building a presence across both countries over more than a decade before announcing its departure with immediate effect.
The company said a review of its business led to the decision, though it did not provide detailed financial figures or a timeline for winding down its operations in the two nations.
Rising Costs and Competition Weigh on Drivers
In Nigeria, drivers have faced surging fuel prices and operating expenses, while disputes over fares and platform commissions have sparked protests in recent years.
The situation worsened after Nigeria removed its petrol subsidy in 2023, pushing up transport and living costs, while competition from Bolt, inDrive and local services has intensified.
Uber Retains Four African Markets
The latest exits follow Uber's withdrawal from Ivory Coast and Tanzania over the past year, leaving the company to operate in just four African countries: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.
Uber said it would support affected drivers and employees, with its help centre remaining available in Nigeria and Uganda until 23 September.
