The Co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey steps down as Twitter CEO after 16 years of service to the tech company. The 45 years old twitted few hours ago saying "not sure anyone have heard but I [have] resigned from Twitter", along with an attached letter of resignation. He is to be replaced by Parag Agrawal, the Twitter CTO.

Jack Patrick Dorsey is an American billionaire technology entrepreneur and philanthropist who is the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter and the founder and CEO of Square, a financial payments company. 

Back in 2020, he had issues with the Nigerian government on the basis of using his platform to "fuel" the #EndSARS protest ravaging the country, which eventually led to lost of lives and properties worth billions. This act and protesting led to the interference of international communities kicking against the government.

Another clash with the Nigerian government was when he pulled down the threatening tweets of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, insighted against the Citizens. This led to the ban of Twitter in the country.
