Microsoft is closing down its Africa Development Centre in the continent's most populous nation Nigeria, which will lead to job losses, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The centre, based in the commercial capital Lagos, was opened in 2022 as part of Microsoft's push to deliver high-end engineering and innovation solutions for the company.
