Sacked Twitter staff in Ghana finally get pay-off

X, previously Twitter, has paid off the staff it sacked at its African headquarters over a year ago.
The staff, based in Ghana’s capital, Accra, were fired in November 2022.
Elon Musk, who took over the company in 2022, sacked more than 6,000 people globally.
Agency Seven Seven, representing the staff, secured a redundancy settlement and repatriation expenses for foreign staff.
The staff had threatened to take X to court for failing to pay the redundancy money they were promised.
Some staff had moved from neighbouring countries, such as Nigeria, and were left stranded in Ghana.
X began negotiations with the sacked Africa staff after the BBC covered the story.
Last year, X was hit by a lawsuit for allegedly refusing to pay at least $500m in promised severance packages.
