I am an emerging business magnets, charity entrepreneur, social innovator, civic tech leader and a cross boundary leader with exceptional tri-sector leadership abilities. I am The CEO & Founder of The ICT Academy which is a startup multi-country digital hybrid nonprofit created to bridge the digital divide in rural and peri-urban Africa and beyond through spearheading the creation of Smart Cities and Smart Villages. In my early twenties I underwent through a spiritual crisis calumniating into Yahweh calling me into government and anointing me to lead as a ruler and a deliverer at the age of 24
We create Digital Villages in resource poor communities. Digital Villages are Village Internet access points. A Digital Village is basically a public place where people can access computers, the internet, and other digital technologies that enable them to gather information, create, learn and communicate with others while they develop essential 21st Century digital skills.
