    "excerpt": "The American ride-hailing giant Uber announced on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, a vast reorganization that includes the elimination of approximately 10% of its workforce, or more than 3,000 positions. The company is also leaving Nigeria and Uganda, with immediate effect, according to Ca press reports. In a message to his employees, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi spoke of \"major organizational changes.\" \"As a result, we will reduce our team's headcount by approximately 10%,\" he announced. Uber has approximately 34,000 employees in more than 70 countries. This restructuring aims in particular to reduce hierarchical levels and simplify internal organization. According to the executive, the strong growth recorded by the company over the past five years has been accompanied by increasing complexity in its structures.\n\nAlongside the job cuts, Uber announced its immediate withdrawal from Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, as well as from Uganda. This decision comes as the group seeks to reorient its investments towards activities deemed strategic, particularly the development of autonomous vehicles. Uber intends to dedicate up to 10 billion dollars in the coming years to the development of autonomous vehicles. The company is already working with several specialized companies, including the Croatian Verne and the British Wayve. The group also plans to purchase up to 50,000 robotaxis...",
