The restructuring aligned headcount with a narrower operational focus: MAX plans to finance 120,000 electric vehicles across Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon in 2025, triple its combined 2024 volume under the old mixed model. Terminations were effective immediately and carried no monetary severance. The company offered health insurance continuation and job placement assistance to affected workers. Some employees initially received termination letters citing performance reviews, only learning afterward they were part of a broader mass layoff.
