These are just the few I could remember. Even if we stay within tech/startup founders alone, the list is almost endless.

And if we go beyond founders, there are OAU alumni leading companies, banks, multinationals, entertainment, politics, and more.

Also, even a small fraction building successful startups is impressive, especially in Nigeria where building a company is already VERY HARD. Most startups don’t even survive long enough to become part of this kind of conversation.

@mubarak_dolapo Not sure about the LinkedIn part, but several online sources say otherwise. They list OAU Electrical Engineering.

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.

There’s something about schooling in OAU that makes you want to become a founder of something! I don’t know what it is exactly….Some parts of that school opens your head to crazy ideas😂

I don’t know if it’s the afforestation and scenery or the history and nostalgia the institution carries from a very glorious past

Imagine ranking 4th in the list of start up CEOs from a university in Africa …..that number is for established companies captured….it’s probably much more than 36!

@suya__boy OPay was founded by Zhao Yahui.

Immediately I read the caption, I rushed to check Oga @idrisayobello face there.

No surprise.

Another OAU by the way.

If you're in tech in Nigeria, exposure is very important.

Nigeria is not the USA. You can't create something in your garage, and it goes global.

You most speak out and defeat imposter syndrome.

[Sir J (J9) @SirJarus]

Olugbenga Agboola of Flutterwave - OAU or Unilorin?

No mention of it on his LinkedIn page. I read on his Wikipedia page now that he finished from OAU. I think I saw some years ago that he finished from Unilorin.

Who knows which is correct?
