“They Think I Can Repair Phones”: Lady who Works as Programmer from Nigeria Shares Her Experience

• A Nigerian lady who pursued a career in programming reflected on her time in the industry, expressing that her parents had a preference for traditional professions like engineering, which they understood

• This mix-up, while amusing, shed light on the broader issue of the public’s understanding of the role and skills of a programmer in Nigeria

A Nigerian lady, formerly employed as a programmer, narrated her experiences working within Nigeria’s tech industry.
