Startups making waves in the Technology Community: Edukero

With the growing unemployment crisis, Nigerians are fast adopting the entrepreneur spirit by setting up shops and business ventures to not just earn a living wage but to offer services at different levels of human endeavours.

Thankfully, most of these entrepreneurial ventures are indeed breaking the glass ceiling. While a lot of these startups never make it past the idea stage, a lot more trudge on and become more successful. Over the years, Nigeria has birthed a number of innovative startups helping to redefine the business scene and improving the economy ultimately.

In the outgoing year, a good number of these startups, who by their nature are businesses built on the concepts of ambition, innovation, scalability and growth, not only gained traction but recorded some milestones.

Edukero.com is a service from a Nigerian startup. It is a digital learning portal that offers courses in skill acquisitions for those requiring a career upgrade. Their mission is simple – to make learning digital. They also believe that “learning can be facilitated when simplified, accessible and affordable.”

The startup has partnered with “some of the world’s best trainers and instructors” and they provide the training content available on the portal. Year 2021, is certainly a good year for this relatively young company, as they plan to launch this e-learning platform by January 2022.

3 Nigerian startups to watch out for come 2022


The list of Nigerian startups to watch out for in 2022 (and possibly this decade). It comprises.

1. Eden

Eden is a concierge service for homes. Not a typical tech startup, but it's "a tech-enabled, human-powered service that takes over the running of your home so you can focus on the things that truly matter in life."
In short, as one techpreneur told me, "Eden is the affordable Quintessentially made for Africans, by Africans."
Eden was co-founded in 2019 by a co-founder of Andela—Nadayar Enegesi (CEO), and two of his other former Andela colleagues—Prosper Otemuyiwa (CTO) and Silm Momoh (Product Lead).

2. edukero.com

[url]Edukero.com[/url] is an e-learning platform that offers digital skills training on Web Development, Graphics Design, Digital Marketing, Mobile Application Development, Data Science, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, Android Application Development, IOS Application Development, etc.
Edukero.com will be officially launched in January 2022. [url]Edukero.com[/url] have so many features aside being an e-learning platform. Sit.ng scholarship and loan features will immeasurably help students across the country.

3. uLesson

When a serial entrepreneur like Sim Shagaya, founder of DealDey and Konga, launches a new venture, the techosystem would definitely be watching out for it.
Set to be officially launched in February 2020, uLesson had secured $3.1 million (₦1.1 billion) seed funding from TLcom Capital last year November.
uLesson platform would allow learners, mostly secondary school students, to experience personalized learning, take mock tests, and assess their performance and learning progress with uLesson detailed analysis dashboard.
The Jos-based startup is the pageant everyone is checking out in the edtech sector. Not only because Sim is the chaperone, but also because of its model.

Whether online education or traditional form of education, one thing is certain; the benefits of education can never be over emphasized. How successful one intends to become, the length one intends to go, evolves on their willingness to learn new things, acquire new skills and adapt in today’s fast evolving World. No doubt, education is one of the fundamental factors for economic growth. For a country to achieve sustainable development, there is high need to invest in its human capital development.


“The idea for [url]Edukero.com[/url] came after several direct involvement in physical trainings; some as attendee, while some as host/organizer. I discovered physical trainings even though great, but had their limitations and constraints.
From the host/organizer perspective, I have experienced lots of discouragement and feel that so many young Nigerians do not want to utilize thousands of opportunity in the technology world, but then; after organizing or hosting ICT training both paid and free, I came to realize from the reports that most times, the training time, fee and locations doesn't suit these students and so they fail to attend.

With these difficulties explained above, I saw eLearning as a way out. Thus, I started resorting to online training through various top global elearning providers like Alison.com, Udemy.com and Lynda.com. Then also, I started working on an e-Learning project that can enable people take courses online, and still be able to engage with their instructor(s), instead of traveling or going far for it, and this edukero.com offers.
[url]Edukero.com[/url] is not just an eLearning portal, the technology also features an scholarship offers, student loan, e-Learning community where candidates taking courses/training online can engage with their instructors, or other co-candidates in the community. [url]Edukero.com[/url] is an innovative e-learning portal founded by a Nigerian Technology firm, Softicu Technology Hub.


Education equips the people, who in return contribute to the development of the economy. In the case of Edukero.com, if more people are equipped with different business skills, or professional skills, including softskills, they can startup new businesses, and become proficient in those businesses with the right training, which in return will contribute immensely to the country’s GDP.
