Yoruba has no great leaders in this generation.

"The CEO of El-Mansur Atelier Group, Mr. Tunde Oyekola, is a specialist in Airport designs, and his organisation is the brain behind the ongoing Dutse Airport Project, in Jigawa State. In this encounter with Dele Ogbodo, he explained that Governor Sule Lamido's marching order and financial back-up were the impetus behind the timely completion of the N11.5 billion Dutse airport for commissioning in February 2014.

First, I would like to say that the government of Jigawa State, under the leadership of Governor Sule Lamido, had always wished to bequeath to the people of the state an international airport, and so our bid was to help midwife this dream. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has different categories of airports which are designated based on the facilities available. There is usually a long chart of what constitutes an international airport, there are categories A, B, C and D as the case may be. What we are building for Jigawa State which is purely financed by the state, without any form of private collaboration at the cost of N11.5 billion, is in the category of international airport, which falls into category 'A'." Over time, the airport will assume the status of Lagos and Abuja airports. _{http://allafrica.com/stories/201401130730.html}

"We pioneered the construction of mobile ATM kiosks for the banks. We deployed hundreds of such kiosks for different banks in Nigeria. We see ourselves as a company that provides solutions. Our core business really is modular building systems, so we are in the business of managing space for our clients, to allow them to be more nimble in delivering their products to their own clients. For instance, banks realised that they get more traffic in their ATM machines if they are positioned in areas with high demographics to suit their product offering so when we initiated the mobile ATM kiosk, it allowed them the flexibility to position their kiosks in areas where they can achieve the highest traffic to their ATM machine..."

Ventures Platform (VP Hub) – a hybrid-incubator and co-working space operator that seeks to be the most ideal launch-pad for startups in Africa. Ventures Platform is the first all-inclusive residential hub in Nigeria. 3 times a year VP finds 10 of the best startups from around Africa, invests in them and supports with them to gain traction, product market fit and raise follow-on investment.

In 1996 three committed and pioneering doctors joined forces to set up the first ever incorporated Health Management Organisation (HMO) in the country. Dr Ladi Awosika, Dr Ebun Sonaiya and Dr Femi Ogunbekun had jointly, with other medical practitioners, also founded the Guild of Medical Directors (GMD) seven years earlier, to recognise medicine as a business. Their vision for the HMO was to provide patients with access to affordable, quality healthcare while creating a sustainable environment in which healthcare providers could deliver services.

With financial backing from Leadway Assurance Company, Total Health Trust was born and started operations in 1997. With no industry, no competitor and no regulator in existence, THT’s creation marked the genesis of the managed healthcare sector in Nigeria.

The company set about building a pre-paid healthcare solution for Nigeria modelled on the US and Latin American countries. The founders were writing history as they grew THT into the formidable company it is today. In recognition of their pivotal role, they became strategic advisors to the federal government in its formation of the National Health Insurance Scheme which would ultimately create and regulate the entire industry.


THT helps make healthcare work in Nigeria. We enable our customers to access affordable, reliable healthcare and we support healthcare providers in their efforts to deliver it.

THT is Nigeria’s leading Health Management Organisations (HMO), and was awarded the HMO of The Year 2016 at the Nigeria Healthcare Excellence Awards. Renowned by our stakeholders for our reliability, we have been connecting our members to healthcare providers since 1998. Our unrivaled 17 year industry track record has seen us build a formidable reputation in Nigeria and we remain the HMO of choice for over 300,000 members, over 500 corporate clients and government institutions.

We have one of the largest networks of independent service providers, made up of over 500 private and 1,550 NHIS-accredited clinics and hospitals throughout Nigeria. Because we know your life may depend on this network, we continuously monitor our service providers and ensure that we pay promptly for their services. This commitment to supporting our healthcare providers professionally and financially has made us the trusted HMO for most hospitals and clinics in Nigeria.

Today, THT is one of very few HMOs in the country that has attracted the financial and technical backing of an international partner, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Group of South Africa, a progressive pan African institution which offers a comprehensive range of insurance, investments and financial services.

Through Liberty, we have created a robust administrative and technology platform on which our business is built – allowing us to provide a more seamless and efficient service to our members. In addition we have expanded our product portfolio to include internationally benchmarked offerings.

With over 200 staff operating out of our head office in Lagos and eleven regional offices in Kaduna, Calabar, Ibadan, Benin, Abeokuta, Enugu, Ilorin, Port Harcourt and Abuja, THT has the capacity to deliver excellent service, underpinned by a solid infrastructure, a clear vision for the future and a dynamic international team to help get us there.

Co-founder Odunoluwa Longe told Disrupt Africa the startup would this year also roll out DIY Resources, a free, online, easy to understand resources platform, and DIY Engage, a directory, classification and lead generation platform for lawyers.

The founding team has a background in the legal sector, with Longe and fellow co-founder Funkola Odeleye running The Longe Practice LP, an entrepreneur-focused law firm, that represents many Nigerian tech startups. Longe said they had realised they could use technology to make legal services easier to access, for entrepreneurs in Africa.

DIYlaw aims to tackle the lack of efficiency and accessibility in the legal industry, by providing quality legal services at affordable prices. “Globally, the legal industry is a conservative one. Our aim is to use technology to make legal services more efficient, available and affordable to as many people as need it in Africa,” Longe said. http://disrupt-africa.com/2016/04/diylaw-leads-charge-in-african-legal-tech-sector/

According to Oyedotun (former CEO of Chronos a venture development and technology consultancy, and CTO of payment startup, iThena Logic), Delivery Science is one of the few Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) certified Aggregators, and is ultimately concerned with using data science and technology to simplify the optimization of delivery of goods and services, which informed the name “Delivery Science”.

Explaining further, he said : “You can imagine where a client places an order with a manufacturing company for goods worth over N50million; these goods are loaded in about 20 trucks, but at the end of the day 18 trucks are delivered. What happened to the remaining two? It will amaze you that at the end of the day, nobody can credibly inundate the company on the whereabouts of these goods. In fact, Delivery Science is on a mission to help companies overcome the challenge."

"Most Companies have lost revenue to litigations, diversion of commodities, late delivery and so on which brings the need for ‘Visibility.’” 'Ensuring visibility,' he said, 'that is one of the unique selling values of the SaaS technology of Delivery Science Software.' _{http://www.newswatchnigeria.com/delivery-management-is-seamless-with-delivery-science-saas/}

There are various healthcare practices in Nigeria that have been birthed from the innovation and ideas of various doctors cum entrepreneurs. Some of these healthcare practices have gained tremendous amounts of success, making huge and super profits; in addition to having a huge staff load. However, they suffer a lack of continuity; either by losing the innovator or going bankrupt. These scenarios are no faults of the innovator but are due to their inability to manage the responsibilities of the success their establishment has achieved over a period of time effectively and efficiently. With a huge and growing number of processes and employees, there is little or nothing the innovator can do to the dilution of the culture that the organization was birthed from; which also can lead to the negligence of the vision, mission and objective of the establishment. Some of these establishments have also suffered stagnation over a long period despite having the right resources at their disposal.

Being part of a dynasty which owned and managed different healthcare brands over the last decade; we at Realms Healthcare Services Consulting Limited understand the impact of managing specialized services on the bottom-line
