When we conceptualised the #iVenture plan, one question stayed with us: We had found the rails to build and grow our own startups. But what about the joblessness of the plight thousands of young Africans graduating every year?🤔

That became our why: to help build the rails that enable African entrepreneurs to start, grow and scale.

It has become proverbial that talent is everywhere on our continent, but access to capital, knowledge, networks and the right support remains uneven. Without these rails, even the most promising founders can struggle at best + or fail to turn their ideas into thriving businesses

Covenant university is quietly owns half the fintech ecosystem while Babcock is handling the other half. Their alumni networking is doing more real work than most public university curricula in Nigeria.
Meanwhile our Northern universities are they seem more focused on producing solid employees and government staffs. It is well.
Even the naturally ahead ABU their top products remain politicians and pastors, again it also well.
No wonder...
Some northern universities still treat entrepreneurship courses like the most useless subject in the entire semester pack or just something for students to just pass and forget.
While OAU, Covenant and Babcock are busy programming students to hate the idea of collecting salary forever, some Northern schools are still teaching Entrepreneurship in the same way they teach GNS motors by forcing it, grade it, and move on 😉😅
The results are showing!
