Lagos. June 30, 2008. Country Manager, Microsoft Nigeria, Chinenye Mba-Uzoukwu is parting ways with U.S. software maker only a little over one year of heading the Anglophone West African market for the software maker.

Technology Times checks reveals exclusively weekend that Mba-Uzoukwu is quitting the company for reasons yet to be ascertained. A new head of the local operation that oversees Nigeria and other Anglophone economies in West Africa is yet to be announced.

Efforts by Technology Times to confirm the reasons for his departure from the company proved abortive.

Mba-Uzoukwu in February 2007 resumed as head of Microsoft Nigeria from being managing director of Infographics, a Lagos-based software company and partner of Microsoft Corp.

His emergence follows the resignation and subsequent appoint of immediate past country manager of Microsoft Nigeria, Mr. Gerald Ilukwe as the Managing Director, Galaxy Backbone the previous September.

Hitherto, Mba-Uzoukwu, an accomplished Nigerian IT professional was until his appointment the chief executive/managing director of InfoGraphics Nigeria Limited, which was incorporated in 1992 as a multimedia company to pioneer first-rate multimedia authoring, development and allied services.
