The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) says it is probing Uber’s abrupt exit from Nigeria, particularly the ride-hailing company’s handling of unfulfilled services to customers.
Speaking to Bloomberg on Sunday, Tunji Bello, chief executive officer (CEO) of FCCPC, said officials at the FCCPC will probe the manner of Uber’s exit.
He said officials at the Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Commission are “looking into the manner of their exit, particularly in respect of unfulfilled services to the customers”.
On September 2, Uber announced plans to exit Nigeria and Uganda, effective September 2.
Following the development, industry rivals like Bolt and inDrive said they were looking to expand their market share by filling the vacuum.
Uber, on September 2, said it was cutting more than 3,000 jobs worldwide as part of a major restructuring plan to reduce management layers and refocus spending on its core business.
