Tech giant, Microsoft has announced the closure of its Africa Development Centre (ADC) in Lagos, Nigeria, Bloomberg reported.
This decision will result in job losses for some employees.
Opened in 2022, the Lagos ADC played a key role in Microsoft’s efforts to develop cutting-edge engineering solutions.
Reports indicate that despite the closure, Microsoft assures continued operations in Nigeria, focusing on strategic growth areas.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to close our Nigerian ADC. This will impact some of our Nigerian employees. Regular workforce adjustments are a necessary part of our business strategy.”
The exact number of affected employees remains unclear.
