Nigeria: Uber Exit - ADC Blames Uber Exit On Tinubu's Economic Policies

The opposition party said 767 manufacturing companies and several global brands have shut down or scaled back as fuel and transport costs rise.

  • On Thursday, The African Democratic Congress criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic policies, describing Nigeria as a "graveyard of businesses" following Uber's reported exit and closures by major multinational corporations.
  • ADC cited soaring operating costs as the primary driver, with fuel prices surging 1,700% following the removal of fuel subsidies and naira devaluation, creating an increasingly hostile business environment.
  • A Manufacturers Association report documented 767 manufacturing companies, including 20 major global brands, ceasing operations in Nigeria, with GlaxoSmithKline ending manufacturing after 50 years of operations.
  • While the Federal Government celebrates 0.2% GDP growth, the ADC argues this masks reality: national poverty has reached 63%, affecting an estimated 140 million Nigerians experiencing economic hardship.
  • ADC Presidential Candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar proposed restoring a targeted fuel subsidy to lower production and transportation costs, aiming to stabilize the economy and reverse business departures.
