Today, I learnt that Olugbenga Agboola, Flutterwave’s co-founder/CEO, studied Electrical Engineering at OAU.
Nigeria has produced 5 tech unicorns: Moniepoint, Flutterwave, Interswitch, Andela and OPay. Founders of 2 of them are OAU alumni.
That pattern is not random.
When students hear about alumni who have built big things, or see their peers at Nacos Library or White House Oven cooking up products, something changes.
It is the same pattern with UNILAG and big tech transitions. When students keep seeing seniors land global internships and top tech roles, ambition becomes normal.
Sometimes, people don’t just need talent. They need proof that someone from their own environment has done it before.

People underestimate how much environment matters.
OAU literally conditions you to hustle and aim for excellence. 24/7 electricity, fast internet through intecu, people constantly building and competing around you. Productivity becomes the norm.
Not surprised many OAU alumni are behind some of Nigeria’s biggest companies.

Tosin (co-founder/CEO of Moniepoint) and I were same set in Ife (entered 2001). Razaq co-founder of Cowrywise a year our junior (2002). I finished in 2006 because I studied a 4-year course. Tosin and Razaq finished in 2007 because Tosin studied a 5 year course, Razaq 4. I didn't know Tosin in Ife. Razaq and I were close. Now, Tosin's company, Momiepoint, has just committed N1 billion to building an innovation hub in OAU. I can't wait for my own company, Jarus Homes, to also become big enough to be able to commit N1 billion into our alma mater alone. Well done, Tosin @Eniolorunda PS: I think OAU 2000 - 2010 guys really cooked. Apart from Moniepoint and Cowrywise, Jobberman, Seamless HR are other top tech companies founded by OAU guys of that era. Any other popular one?

Moniepoint is putting ₦3 billion into building Innovation Hubs at OAU, UNN and ABU where students can learn software engineering, AI, robotics, product design and entrepreneurship with direct industry support. A lot of conversations about Nigeria’s digital economy focus on startups and funding, but only a few talk about the real foundation which is the talent pipeline. The engineers, designers and builders coming out of our universities. Also important that this isn’t concentrated in Lagos. OAU, UNN and ABU gives regional spread and access across the country. Tosin Eniolorunda deserves credit for this. It’s easy to build a successful company, scale and move on, but investing back into the institutions to produce the next generation of talents is the type of leadership and long-term impact that our society needs. Well done to the team at Moniepoint for investing in the Moniepoint Innovation Hubs 👏🏽.
