Bluetickgeng Development is raising serious concerns about the poor treatment and underpayment of experienced software engineers in Nigeria. Despite the abundance of highly skilled developers in the country, many are leaving for better opportunities abroad where their expertise is respected and properly rewarded.
According to the company’s CEO, Praise Davis, Nigerian tech firms are failing to prioritize the very professionals who build their products and drive their revenue. “How can a company offer a top-tier developer just ₦500,000 monthly and expect world-class results? That mindset is the reason so many tech companies here eventually crash,” Davis stated.
The company believes that developers should be the heartbeat of any tech business, not an afterthought. Without proper pay and respect, developers feel undervalued, leading to poor performance, missed deadlines, and eventual departures from the country.
This trend is hurting the industry. Skilled developers are increasingly choosing to work overseas where they receive better compensation and professional recognition. Bluetickgeng Development says the solution is simple—invest in your developers.
“If you’re running a tech company, your developers should be your number one priority,” Davis said. “You can’t build anything sustainable without them.”
The company is urging Nigerian businesses to shift their approach—pay developers what they’re worth, value their work, and help keep the country’s brightest minds at home. With the right support, Nigeria can compete globally, but only if it begins treating its talent like the true backbone of the industry.
