Bento, a Nigerian HR tech and payroll management startup, just delivered a masterclass on what _not_ to do as a startup leader. After delaying January salaries amid a financial crunch, founder Ebun Okubanjo abruptly laid off the entire tech team when they protested for delayed salaries owed in January 2025. This comes hot on the heels of public scrutiny and allegations that the company forged tax receipts and failed to remit millions in taxes and pensions. 👨🏿‍🚀In today's headlines: 1️⃣ Safaricom and Kenyan banks push Pesalink as national payments backbone 2️⃣ Bento lays off its entire tech team over protests for delayed salaries 3️⃣ Nigeria launches National Broadband Alliance to boost internet 4️⃣ Inside the lives of Chowdeck and Glovo superusers Read TC Daily 👉 https://techcabal.com/2025/02/05/techcabal-daily-bento-lays-off-tech-team/
