Dozy Mmobuosi, founder and chief executive officer of Tingo Group, a fintech company, has said technology presents a good solution to youth unemployment.
In a statement, Mmobuosi said there is urgent need to leverage technology to empower youths across Nigeria.
He listed some of the benefits of technology to include access to information, education, and e-learning.
“Technology has brought numerous benefits to Nigerian youths by revolutionizing various aspects of their lives. Some of the benefits of technology to the youth in Nigeria are access to information, education, and e-learning; skill development; job opportunities; and most importantly, entrepreneurship and innovation,” he said.
Mmobuosi, an alumni of Saīd Business School, University of Oxford, is a distinguished technology entrepreneur who advocates for technological advancement and social upliftment in Africa and beyond.
He is the Founder/CEO of two prominent US corporations; Tingo, Inc., Africa’s leading Agri-Fintech company, and Tingo International Holdings, Inc. (TIH) an investment firm focused on identifying and making targeted acquisitions in the technology sector.
Over the years, Tingo has recorded impressive feats in the sectors it plays in. The company successfully distributed 12 million smartphones to players in the Nigerian agriculture value chain.
The tech guru is also passionate about the social upliftment targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the heart of Tingo is the ethos to provide an opportunity for Africa to be a core focal point to tackle some of these pressing topics.
In December 2021, Mmobuosi launched the Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation, aiming to support Africans across multiple sectors including education, healthcare, and technological skills upliftment, and to also facilitate social empowerment by solving key structural challenges present on the continent.
He has long-held aspirations to work with a top-tier UK club and believes that the combination of grassroots initiatives and top-tier football will pay dividends for clubs, fans, and management teams for years to come.
