Uber’s departure from Nigeria has opened the door for rivals Bolt and inDrive to pursue a larger share of the country’s ride-hailing market.

Uber announced on September 2 that it would leave Nigeria after about 12 years of operations. The company attributed the decision to “evolving business priorities and investment focus across the continent.”
