About us

A movement, not just a community.

Okeigbo Tech Circle is a nonprofit, community-driven technology ecosystem created to make world-class digital opportunity normal in a small Nigerian town.

Talent is universal. Opportunity should be too.
Who we are

Technology beyond
the cities.

For decades, access to quality technology education, mentorship, innovation ecosystems and startup opportunities has been concentrated in major cities. Communities like Okeigbo possess extraordinary talent, creativity and ambition — but often lack access to the networks, resources and platforms needed to thrive.

Okeigbo Tech Circle exists to bridge this gap. Rather than waiting for opportunities to arrive, we believe in creating them.

  • Every workshop we organize…
  • Every partnership we establish…
  • Every student we mentor…
  • Every product we build…

…is another step toward transforming Okeigbo into one of Nigeria's leading grassroots technology communities.
