A Nigerian software engineer, Ridwan Akinfenwa, has narrated how he lost a Chief Technology Officer role worth over $260,000 per year because of his nationality.

Akinfenwa, a software engineer, disclosed on his LinkedIn page on Sunday that he had signed a contract for the role last month, describing it as a career milestone after years of hard work in the global tech industry.

He said in the LinkedIn post that started trending on Tuesday, ”Today, I find myself grappling with a deeply disheartening experience in my professional journey.

“As a Senior Software Engineer with a solid educational and technical foundation, I recently secured a CTO position that offered a salary of up to $260,000+ per year including bonuses.”

He said his optimism was cut short when he received a termination email from the organisation citing compliance regulations.

“Today, I received a termination email that shattered my hopes. The message cited further compliance checks, revealing that the organisation could no longer work with Nigerian nationals due to regulatory constraints.

“This decision came without prior indication, leaving me blindsided and emotionally drained,” Akinfenwa said.
