In the bustling heart of Kano, where rolls of Ankara and lace fabrics colour the ancient Kwari Market, a quiet revolution is taking shape. For decades, Nigeria’s textile traders have thrived in physical stalls, bartering, bargaining, and building trust face-to-face.
But here is a new world moving rapidly toward digital commerce, and this reliance on traditional methods has left many behind.
With limited online access, poor logistics coordination, and mistrust of digital payments, thousands of vendors struggle to reach customers beyond their market stalls.
“Our goal is to digitalize traditional market systems without losing the human trust that drives them,” Atiku explains. “We’re building technology that understands the people it serves.”
This structure doesn’t just simplify trade, it transforms it into a data-driven experience that boosts vendor visibility, reduces fraud, and promotes financial inclusion among small-scale traders.
Yakub Abdulrasheed presents Kwari E-market, a Nigerian Kanu-based startup building the continent’s first digitized textile marketplace, designed to bring visibility, transparency, and efficiency to Africa’s age-old fabric trade.

I had the honour of representing the DeepTech_Ready | 3MTT Program at the NYSC New Batch Orientation held at the Karaye Orientation Camp in Kano State. It was an inspiring opportunity to engage with the next generation of young professionals and
it was a privilege to speak to corps members about the importance of upskilling, AI adoption, cybersecurity readiness, and the role they can play in building a digitally empowered Nigeria.
The energy and curiosity from the new batch were incredible
I attended Digital Nigeria 2025 from 11–13 Nov 2025 in Abuja — an inspiring gathering of innovators, policymakers, and tech leaders shaping Nigeria’s digital future.
Great conversations on AI, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity,
and building a stronger tech ecosystem. Excited to apply the insights as we continue growing Kwari E-Market and strengthening digital capacity across Northern Nigeria.
Nigeria’s digital leap is happening — and I’m proud to be part of it. 🇳🇬✨
Terrorism is not a religious issue,
it is a human tragedy that affects us all.
Let us insist on balanced reporting and continue to build peace through truth and inclusion.

“Understanding Media Bias and Its Impact on Peace in Nigeria”
It’s deeply concerning how some media outlets selectively highlight the religion of certain victims while ignoring others.
and resentment between communities. True journalism must tell the full story, recognizing every victim equally — regardless of religion or background.
We must stand together to reject divisive storytelling and promote unity, fairness, and empathy.
🌍 Africa’s markets are going digital.
From bustling stalls to your fingertips Kwari E-Market is redefining how we buy, sell, and trade.
