Communities that outlast the event.
I build communities and programmes that change who gets to work in tech, especially for women and for people outside Lagos. Here's what I've founded, led and grown.
Founder · Chairman · CTO · 2023 to now
G3Women Network for Growth
Northern Nigeria has talent but very little infrastructure for women entering digital tech. I founded G3Women in September 2023 to build that infrastructure. It was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in March 2025.
As Chairman I govern the board of trustees. As CTO I own every technical decision, from architecture to the platforms our learners use.
