How 297 job applications led Bode Roberts to build Dataleum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Bode Roberts struggled to break into the workforce, he realised the problem was not his drive; the system itself was broken.

Nigeria can build solar power plants, but funding remains elusive (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nigeria has demonstrated that distributed renewable energy can successfully expand electricity access beyond the national grid. Through the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP), private developers built 180 solar hybrid mini-grids across 23 states, connecting over 146,000 households and deploying 19.2MW of renewable capacity.

When Francis Elendu, a secondary school teacher in Enugu, in southeastern Nigeria, wants to go out, he picks up his
This blind Nigerian founder uses AI to create her visual designs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Omolara Daniel sits at her laptop, describing the logo she wants in painstaking detail. She tells an AI tool what she wants the design to look like, waits for it to generate the image, then asks the tool to describe what it has produced. If the description does not match the picture in her mind, she prompts it again. When she is satisfied, she sends the design to a friend for a final check. Daniel is blind. She cannot see the logo she has just created. “I just enjoy doing this. It is becoming so
