Our Founders

Rooted Here. Building WhatComes Next.

Benin River Tech Hub is powered by Itsekiri founders and foundations united by a shared belief: the future of our riverine communities should be built with our people, not around them.
Together, they are investing in skills, access and opportunity, creating pathways for the next generation to thrive at home
and compete globally.

Co-Founders

Our People. Our Communities. Our Future.

Our co-founders share more than a project. They share a connection to the people and communities this Hub is being built to serve.

Each brings their own platform, experience and resources to a collective investment in Itsekiri human capacity - equipping the next generation with skills that can travel far beyond the river without requiring them to lose their connection to home.
