Organisational Development Centre is a specialist consultancy providing bespoke training, consulting, and advisory services. We work with individuals, teams, and organisations across the private, public and the third sector in the quest for improvement in organisational outcomes.
Moniepoint Group (@moniepoint) has announced a landmark N3 billion investment to establish three Innovation Hubs across major Nigerian universities. These Universities include:
• Obafemi Awolowo University
• University of Nigeria Nsukka
• Ahmadu Bello University
This initiative represents one of the largest private‑sector contributions to Nigerian higher education in recent years and is designed to ensure that opportunities for tech talent development are spread across different regions of the country.
Each hub will function as a hands‑on centre for software engineering, data science, AI, robotics, design, product development, and entrepreneurship.
Open to students from all faculties, the programme will offer structured cohort learning, mentorship, real‑world project experience, and direct engagement with Moniepoint’s engineering and product teams.
The initiative builds on earlier investments such as the CAD/CAM lab at OAU and the HatchDev programme at UNILAG, reinforcing Moniepoint’s commitment to capacity building in Nigerian institutions.
Speaking at the launch, Moniepoint CEO, Tosin Eniolorunda (@Eniolorunda) emphasised that Nigeria’s digital future depends on homegrown, industry‑ready talent trained within Nigerian universities. University leaders echoed this sentiment, noting that the hubs will expand learning opportunities and inspire students to pursue innovation.
Beyond infrastructure, Moniepoint will provide curriculum support, mentorship, internships, and industry exposure, ensuring the hubs become launchpads for future innovators, not just classrooms.
The initiative aligns with Moniepoint’s broader mission to strengthen Africa’s prosperity by investing in both financial infrastructure and the human capital that will drive the continent’s digital economy.

Two years ago, Tosin Eniolorunda of Moniepoint (@moniepoint) created a CAD/CAM laboratory for the mechanical engineering department at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State.
At the time, the idea was to create a space where students could move beyond theory and get hands-on exposure to design, prototyping, and practical engineering tools.
This same project was also done at Moniepoint’s Co-founder, Felix Ike’s alma mater, the University of Lagos, with the HatchDev Program in Nithub.
I hear this will now be expanded across other universities and STEM courses. The aim is to give students access to practical technology training, mentorship, modern tools, and collaborative workspaces.
Something big will be announced next week. Stay glued!

The man who built the Creato walked in yesterday and we made sure he felt every brick he laid.
From the tunnel walk, to the photoshoot, dancing, and everything in between , yesterday was our way of saying: we see you, we honour you, and we are because you are.

AI may accelerate work, but it can’t lead people. Benjamin Laker suggests leaving the mechanical tasks to artificial intelligence so that you can focus on the meaningful work, the work that requires the management skills at which humans excel. Rely on your own judgment to deliver messages and make decisions involving values, relationships, or trust, he advises. That’s your job as a manager, and a responsibility that should not be outsourced to AI >> https://t.co/DmOabDfS6y
“In order to be spontaneous and respond quickly and efficiently to new opportunities and threats, you can’t respond in firefighting mode. You have to be able to step back and reflect on the learning process, which requires discipline.” https://t.co/9AL3F0Mbq3

This has been shared for some mid-level and senior level roles. But when Frank posted it it only got 50 RTs. We all know what we are doing. People just want to pull down and criticise and destroy without lifting a finger to build anything. Don’t get me wrong, criticisms are great but when they become malicious, then, something is wrong. Perhaps being sponsored?
Tosin Eniolorunda and his co-Founder are Nigerian trained. All of the day one guys at Moniepoint are Nigerians and most of them are still with the company and doing very well.
Moniepoint employ, in total, almost 30,000 Nigerians. They are a top employer in NIGERIA 🇳🇬. They pay a minimum of 75% percentile of the market. Junior Developers earn N1M monthly. Most earn N3M and some earn N4M monthly. They have people who earn around N10M monthly!
Moniepoint remains one of the highest transacting companies in AFRICA. They are a world-class company. And if Moniepoint did not exist, Nigeria would have gone to CHINA, completely.
Tosin must have spoken from a place of deep passion and pain because human capital in Nigeria is low. I have tweeted about this several times as well. Yes, we have good talent, but when you look at the larger population of the country, we have so much work to do. This is a FACT!
By the way, Moniepoint has paid some employees a million dollar in stock options (IN CASH). And there are at least 15-20 people who work with Moniepoint in Nigeria who are dollar millionaires!
So, to say they underpay or they take advantage of cheap labour is redundant and lazy talk.
Again, criticisms should be fair and balanced. But Business Leaders should never shy away from shedding light on challenges across the country.
PS: MONIEPOINT HAS PRODUCED A GEN Z A BILLIONAIRE!! JULIAN DUMEBI DURU IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HAS TOLD HIS STORY. He was a Product Manager, then a Software Architect, before the final promotion to Principal Engineer all at Moniepoint 👏🏽👏🏽.
