Nigeria's accelerating digital economy demands a new kind of community.
ICT now contributes close to a fifth of Nigeria's GDP, yet over 85% of graduates lack the digital fluency to sustain this growth. Zuri Labs answers that paradox by upskilling talent, guiding organisations, and amplifying Africa's voice in the global AI narrative.
The growth engine
Government policy and venture investment have made Nigeria Africa's top tech hub. By 2030 the digital economy is targeted to hit 21% of GDP.
- 107M internet users and 150M mobile connections as of 2025.
- Broadband penetration approaching 50% and 5G rollouts accelerating.
- Businesses already deploying AI at scale across finance, marketing, and software.
The human algorithm
Young, ambitious, globally connected, and determined to build futures worthy of their talent.
- Search interest in "how to learn AI" surged 160% in the last year.
- The diaspora seeks structured channels to invest time, mentorship, and capital back home.
- Zuri Labs reframes "brain drain" into brain circulation.
