Growing up in his grandfather’s household, he was influenced by strong family values, discipline, and a commitment to hard work. His mother, a dedicated educator, instilled in him the virtues of diligence, integrity, and lifelong learning, while his father, an entrepreneur and mechanical engineer, inspired him through his ventures in manufacturing and power solutions.

Benjamin’s entrepreneurial foundation was shaped by witnessing both success and adversity firsthand. His father’s manufacturing business in Aba was once a thriving enterprise before a devastating fire destroyed the factory. Rather than surrender to failure, his father rebuilt his career and successfully transitioned into the power solutions industry. This powerful lesson in resilience became one of the defining influences in Benjamin’s life and business philosophy.

His passion for entrepreneurship was further nurtured through the mentorship of respected British-Nigerian businessman and philanthropist Kingsley Nnadi, whose guidance helped shape Benjamin’s understanding of business leadership, strategic growth, and social impact.

Through dedication, innovation, and leadership, he established valuable professional relationships that eventually led to the creation of successful business ventures and strategic partnerships.

As the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ACCESSFORTE LIMITED, Benjamin has built a dynamic technology, branding, and business solutions company serving clients across multiple sectors. Established in 2010, ACCESSFORTE LIMITED provides information technology services, software solutions, cloud technologies, systems integration, digital transformation consulting, commercial printing, packaging, branding, and marketing solutions.

Under his leadership, ACCESSFORTE LIMITED has evolved into a full-service business solutions provider, helping organizations strengthen their market presence through innovative technology, creative branding, strategic communication, and business support services.

Beyond technology and branding, Benjamin has played a significant role in the events and experiential marketing industry. As a Co-Founder of Visions’N’Dreams Limited, he contributed to the development of a respected event management company known for executing high-profile projects and large-scale events across Nigeria and internationally.

One of the company’s notable achievements was the successful coordination of the internationally acclaimed “40 Years A King” Musical Concert in São Paulo, Brazil, celebrating Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia (2Baba). Through these engagements, Benjamin gained extensive experience in international project management, stakeholder engagement, and cross-border business operations.

Committed to creating lasting social impact, Benjamin is also the Co-Founder of FOODBANK HUMANITARIAN FOUNDATION (FOODBANK NAIJA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating hunger, poverty, and social inequality while promoting education, youth empowerment, healthcare access, nutrition, and sustainable community development initiatives across Nigeria.

Through FOODBANK NAIJA, Benjamin has championed programs that support vulnerable families, empower young people, and foster sustainable development within underserved communities in Lagos, Abuja, Owerri and other parties of the country. His commitment to humanitarian service reflects his belief that business success should translate into meaningful social impact.

Recognizing the importance of collaboration and economic integration across Africa, Benjamin is also associated with AfriWorld Business Network, a platform dedicated to fostering strategic partnerships, entrepreneurship, trade facilitation, investment opportunities, and business development among African professionals and enterprises worldwide.

Rasheed Olabisi Owolewa PhD, CTO, VaKYum Innovation PLC

A Nigerian technology innovation company, VaKYum Innovation, is set to launch a groundbreaking product aimed at transforming the landscape of global academic recruitment and remote education.

The product, named ‘Lecturiing’, is a professional networking and job-matching platform designed to connect higher educational institutions with qualified lecturers across the globe for remote lecturing opportunities.

The platform is expected to bridge gaps in local and international academic recruitment by enabling universities and colleges to source, verify and hire qualified lecturers remotely through a single digital ecosystem.

Speaking on the initiative, VaKYum Innovation’s Chief Technology Officer Rasheed Olabisi Owolewa PhD, said the platform was developed to address challenges associated with recruiting qualified academic talent locally and across borders while creating opportunities for lecturers to access global teaching engagements.

According to him, the primary users of the platform are higher educational institutions seeking qualified teaching professionals and lecturers looking for remote employment opportunities.

“Lecturiing is a professional networking and job-matching platform designed to connect higher educational institutions with qualified lecturers locally and across the globe for remote lecturing opportunities,” he said.

Dr Owolewa explained that the platform allows institutions to post vacancies, verify lecturers’ credentials, communicate securely within the application and complete recruitment processes without relying on multiple platforms.

He noted that the solution was built to streamline international academic hiring by providing a trusted environment where employers can access verified teaching talent and lecturers can showcase their qualifications to prospective employers worldwide.

Beyond facilitating recruitment, he said the platform is expected to strengthen collaboration between educators and institutions, while supporting knowledge exchange across countries and regions.

“The platform will connect verified teaching talents with local and global opportunities, create trust and transparency in international academic hiring, reduce the time and risk involved in hiring remote lecturers, and foster long-term collaboration between lecturers and schools,” he added.

The introduction of 'Lecturiing' signals a new dawn for Nigerian lecturers who currently grapple with the challenge of low salaries that are grossly incommensurate with the economic realities of the country. By connecting qualified academics with local institutions and institutions across the globe, the platform will provide them with a credible and accessible avenue to earn more income and gain recognition for their academic qualifications on a global scale.

"I'm excited about the possibilities that this platform offers. This is very similar to the opportunities that Upwork, Freelancer, and other digital platforms have created for young people with digital technology skills," said Professor Njinga Ngaitad Stanislaus, Professor of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, University of Ilorin, Nigeria.

He noted that the platform has the potential to revolutionise academic employment by enabling lecturers to leverage their knowledge and experience beyond geographical boundaries while creating a more competitive and globally connected higher education ecosystem.

 By Victoria Samuel

Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited, a diversified Nigerian company is building a multi-sector ecosystem that combines musical instrument education, creative entrepreneurship, business support services, and herbal wellness solutions under a unified vision of empowering individuals and businesses to realize their potential and create sustainable opportunities for growth.

Founded by entrepreneur and professional guitarist Ojikutu Mayowa Babatunde, Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited has evolved from a music-focused venture into a diversified enterprise serving customers across education, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and wellness sectors. The company's growth reflects a broader trend among emerging Nigerian businesses seeking to create value across multiple industries while maintaining a common focus on skills development, innovation, and practical solutions.

The journey began in 2015 when Ojikutu identified a gap in access to musical instrument services and training. Through years of working with aspiring musicians, churches, and creative communities, he developed a vision that extended beyond instrument sales and tutorials. That vision eventually led to the formal registration of Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited in 2022, providing a platform to expand operations and launch multiple business divisions.

At the center of the company's operations is Marvin Empire Music Academy (MEMA), a Music Academy in Lagos Nigeria focused on Musical Instrument Training for aspiring musicians and enthusiasts.

Ojikutu said the company's expansion has been driven by a commitment to creating opportunities that extend beyond traditional music instruction.

"We wanted to build more than a music business," he said. "Our goal has always been to create a platform where people can learn valuable skills, access quality services, and discover opportunities that support personal growth and business development."

The company's diversification strategy is also reflected in Marvin Empire Printing Supplies (MEPS), a division focused on Printing Supplies in Nigeria and related business support solutions. The unit provides printing materials, consumables, equipment, and support services for businesses, organizations, and print professionals seeking affordable and efficient solutions.

As entrepreneurship continues to grow across Nigeria, access to reliable Printing Supplies Nigeria remains an important requirement for many businesses. Marvin Empire Printing Supplies aims to support that demand by providing products and services that help entrepreneurs and organizations operate more effectively.

The company has also expanded into the wellness sector through Marvin Empire Herbal Solution (MEHS), a business division focused on Herbal Wellness Solutions. The initiative connects consumers with herbal products designed to support wellness and healthy living, reflecting growing consumer interest in natural health alternatives and preventive wellness practices.

Industry observers note that one of the distinguishing features of Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited is its ability to operate multiple brands while maintaining a consistent focus on empowerment.

Over the years, Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited has extended its offerings to include content creation space rentals and creative support services, further strengthening its role within Nigeria's growing creative economy. The move aligns with increasing demand for affordable creative infrastructure among content creators, entrepreneurs, and emerging digital professionals.

For Ojikutu, the long-term objective remains centered on building a sustainable ecosystem that supports education, creativity, entrepreneurship, and wellness.

"Every division of Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited was created to solve a problem," he said. "Whether it is helping someone learn a musical instrument, supporting a business with quality printing supplies, or providing access to wellness products, the goal is to create value and make opportunities more accessible."

As Marvin Empire Nigeria Limited continues to grow its customer base and digital community, the company is positioning itself as a Nigerian Business Brand focused on transforming lives through education, innovation, Creative Entrepreneurship, and practical business solutions.

Journita AI Reinvents Travel Through Artificial Intelligence, Flight Optimization, and Social Collaborati

    By Kemi Yakub

Journita AI, an AI-powered travel and lifestyle platform, is transforming how travellers discover destinations, search for affordable flights, plan trips, book travel services, and coordinate travel experiences through a single intelligent conversational interface. The company is building a new category within Travel Technology by combining artificial untelligence, travel planning, travel booking, and community-driven experiences into one seamless platform.

Founded by Olamide Orija, a technology entrepreneur, growth strategist, and

Mechanical Engineering graduate of Bells University of Technology, Journita AI was born from firsthand travel experiences across multiple African countries. During those journeys, Orija encountered the challenges of fragmented travel planning, unreliable travel information, connectivity issues, and the need to switch between multiple platforms to complete a single trip.

According to Orija, those frustrations revealed an opportunity to simplify the travel experience through technology.

"Travel planning is often fragmented. People move between different platforms for flights, accommodation, transportation, connectivity, and itinerary planning," he said. "We wanted to build a platform that brings everything together through a single intelligent interface, making travel simpler and more accessible."

Unlike traditional travel platforms that focus on only one part of the journey, Journita AI integrates multiple services into a unified experience. Travellers can discover destinations, generate personalized itineraries, compare travel options, coordinate schedules, and complete bookings through conversational prompts powered by AI.

One of the platform's standout capabilities is its intelligent flight discovery engine. Rather than manually searching across multiple websites, users can simply ask questions such as "What's the cheapest date to fly from Lagos to London in September?" or "Find me the cheapest flights to Dubai next month." The AI analyzes available options, identifies the most affordable travel dates and routes, recommends alternatives, and facilitates bookings directly through the platform.

The company is also helping travelers simplify other parts of their journeys. Users can book hotels, organize airport transfers, arrange local transportation, and access eSIM connectivity solutions designed to help travellers stay connected when visiting new destinations. By bringing these services together, Journita AI aims to reduce the complexity that often accompanies travel planning.

As demand for AI travel solutions continues growing globally, Journita AI is positioning itself at the forefront of ravel innovation by making artificial intelligence practical and accessible for everyday travellers. The platform's Travel Assistant capabilities enable users to receive recommendations, estimate travel costs, discover activities, and build customized travel plans based on their preferences and budgets.

Beyond travel planning and travel booking, the company is introducing a new dimension to social travel through collaborative trip creation and group coordination. Users can create public trips, discover trips created by other travellers, join travel communities, and collaborate on shared travel experiences.

Within these groups, travellers can simply tag @journitaai to generate itineraries, compare travel options, estimate expenses, coordinate schedules, and receive travel-related assistance in real time.

According to Orija, this collaborative model reflects how people naturally experience travel.

"Travel has always been a shared experience, yet most travel tools are designed for individuals," he said. "We are creating an environment where travellers can plan together, learn from one another, and use AI to remove much of the complexity involved in coordinating trips."

The startup's progress has attracted recognition from leading global technology ecosystem programs. Journita AI has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program, awarded $25,000 in AWS Credits through the AWS Startups Program, and accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program. These recognitions highlight the company's innovation potential and growing presence within the African Startup ecosystem.

The company has also secured partnerships across travel, mobility, and connectivity categories while building a platform capable of planning, coordinating, and booking

travel experiences from a single interface. Journita AI reports a fast-growing user base and early revenue generation ahead of public launch, indicating growing demand for a more integrated travel platform.

Supporting the company's vision is a multidisciplinary leadership team. Alongside Founder and Chief Executive Officer Olamide Orija, the company is led by co-founder and chief technology officer Kolade Adeola, who oversees technology strategy, engineering operations, and product innovation. Abiodun Hodonu, Head of Operations and Product, leads product strategy and growth initiatives, while Adeola Praise Ololade, Principal Engineer, oversees backend systems, AI engineering, cloud infrastructure, and the technology powering the platform's intelligent travel experiences.

As Artificial Intelligence continues reshaping consumer experiences across industries, Journita AI is positioning itself within a growing generation of Travel Technology companies seeking to simplify how people discover destinations, compare travel options, access the cheapest flights, book accommodation, stay connected through eSIM services, and coordinate journeys through intelligent digital experiences.

The company's growth also reflects the increasing impact of African-founded technology companies building globally relevant products while demonstrating how Artificial Intelligence can improve travel planning, group travel coordination, and community-driven travel experiences for users around the world.

The CBN’s New AML Rules Are a Wake-Up Call for Financial Institutions

 By Bolaji Jimoh, Fraud & Compliance Manager, Dojah

 

The Central Bank of Nigeria's new AML requirements are forcing financial institutions to rethink how they manage compliance, fraud monitoring, and customer risk.

With implementation deadlines now in motion, banks, fintechs, and payment companies are under increasing pressure to move away from manual AML processes and adopt automated systems capable of monitoring transactions, screening customers, and identifying suspicious activity in real time.

For many institutions, the challenge is not understanding the new requirements.

The challenge is being ready for them.

At Dojah, we are seeing growing demand from financial institutions looking to strengthen transaction monitoring, AML screening, sanctions checks, and customer risk management ahead of the June 2026 deadline.

The reason is simple.

Many institutions still rely on a combination of manual reviews, disconnected systems, and onboarding-focused compliance processes. While these approaches may have worked in the past, they are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain as transaction volumes grow and regulatory expectations evolve.

The CBN's latest directive reflects a broader shift happening across financial services.

Compliance is no longer just about verifying customers during onboarding. Institutions are increasingly expected to maintain visibility into customer risk throughout the entire customer lifecycle, monitor transactions continuously, and respond quickly when suspicious activity is detected.

This is where many organisations are now reassessing their existing compliance infrastructure.

Some are looking to automate sanctions and watchlist screening. Others are focused on improving transaction monitoring or strengthening customer risk assessment processes. Across the board, the common challenge is building systems that can provide compliance teams with better visibility and faster response times.

To support this shift, Dojah provides solutions including identity verification, business verification, AML watchlist screening, transaction monitoring, and Profiled Risk, a customer risk intelligence solution that helps compliance teams maintain a clearer view of customer activity and emerging risk patterns over time.

Rather than relying solely on static onboarding checks, institutions are increasingly looking for ways to continuously assess risk and identify potential issues before they escalate.

The organisations that adapt early will likely be better positioned not only from a compliance perspective, but also from a fraud prevention and operational resilience standpoint.

With the June 10 roadmap deadline approaching, financial institutions are running out of time to evaluate whether their current AML processes can support the level of monitoring and visibility regulators now expect.

The conversation is no longer about whether AML operations should be automated.

The conversation is about how quickly institutions can get there.

Financial institutions looking to strengthen AML operations can learn more about Profiled Risk and Dojah's AML solutions at profiledrisk.com and dojah.io/aml-watchlist.

 

About Dojah

Dojah is a fraud and risk infrastructure company helping businesses across Africa strengthen identity verification, business verification, fraud detection, transaction monitoring, and customer risk operations through connected trust and compliance systems.

 

 

 

Nigerians praises Monica Cash for shortening bitcoin to naira withdrawal time

 

Nigerians praises Monica Cash for shortening bitcoin to naira withdrawal time

Nigerians within the country’s crypto community have increasingly praised fintech platform Monica Cash for reducing the long delays often associated with bitcoin to naira withdrawals and manual peer to peer settlement systems.

For years, crypto users have complained about the delays associated with bitcoin-to-naira withdrawals, especially during manual peer-to-peer transactions where users often wait for payment confirmation before settlements are completed.

The challenge has continued affecting traders, freelancers, remote workers and online business owners receiving payments through stablecoins and other digital assets from international clients and diaspora remittance Nigeria transactions.

As concerns around delayed withdrawals continue growing, Monica.cash App is gaining attention among crypto users looking for faster settlement systems and direct bank payout options.

Monica Cash, which has spent the last three years supporting Nigerians with automated crypto withdrawals, allows users convert BTC, USDT, ETH, BNB, TRX, SOL and USDC into naira through direct settlement systems linked to local bank accounts.

Across the Nigeria crypto market, many users say delayed withdrawals remain one of the biggest frustrations linked to traditional peer to peer trading systems.

According to a tech analyst familiar with Nigeria’s digital asset ecosystem, many users now prefer platforms that reduce waiting periods and simplify crypto to naira conversion.

He noted that withdrawal time on Monica Cash had reduced significantly compared to other fintech platforms and many manual peer to peer systems he reviewed within the market.

The analyst stated that bitcoin to naira withdrawals on Monica.cash were processed within seconds to about one minute during his review of the platform’s settlement structure.

According to him, faster settlement systems are gradually becoming more important within the Nigerian fintech sector as users increasingly expect instant payout experiences across digital payment platforms.

Many traders now see platforms offering automated crypto to naira conversion as an alternative to Binance P2P because of reduced delays and smoother settlement processes.

The increasing use of digital assets for online business transactions, freelance payments and cross border transfers has also contributed to rising demand for instant naira payout systems and reliable crypto withdrawal Nigeria services.

Recent conversations around SEC VASP licensing and CBN crypto regulation have also increased attention on structured crypto conversion platforms and centralized crypto-to-fiat settlement systems operating within the Nigeria crypto market.

Crypto users are becoming more careful about the platforms they use for crypto withdrawals because delayed transactions and failed settlements can affect business activities and time sensitive payments.

Within this changing environment, Monica.cash app is associated with smoother crypto cashout in Nigeria services and faster withdrawal systems designed to simplify how users convert crypto to naira directly into local bank accounts.

 

Axine Labs Has chosen RLC Pro AI to power AI-driven soil analysis from orbit

    

Axine Labs Has chosen RLC Pro AI to power

AI-driven soil analysis from orbit

CIQ Startup Program gives early-stage AI teams access to the same Enterprise Linux foundation

used by the world's leading supercomputing centers

Axine Labs, developer of the Axine-HMAS soil contamination

analysis platform, has joined the CIQ Startup Program to build its inference infrastructure on RLC

Pro AI, the GPU-optimized Enterprise Linux distribution from the creators of Rocky Linux. The

partnership gives Axine Labs access to the same long-term support, security configuration, and

direct engineering relationship that enterprise and government customers rely on to run production

AI workloads.

Axine-HMAS (Heavy Metal Analysis Suite) is an AI framework that predicts soil heavy metal

concentrations from high-dimensional hyperspectral satellite imagery. The system gives agricultural,

industrial, and mining operators a non-invasive, scalable alternative to physical soil sampling,

replacing destructive field testing with orbital data processed through a trained inference pipeline.

Dense geospatial and spectral datasets demand an operating system built for sustained GPU

throughput. RLC Pro AI delivers the kernel-level tuning, validated driver stack, and stable long-term

release that Axine-HMAS requires to run data calibration, spectral unmixing, and final contamination

mapping as a reliable production workflow.

Multi-layered spectral data from orbit demands absolute stability at the operating system level," said

David Adeyemo, founder of Axine Labs. "RLC Pro AI gives us an Enterprise Linux foundation with

direct engineering support baked in. Our infrastructure stays secure and optimized, and our team

stays focused on what matters: scaling model performance and delivering results our customers can

act on."

"Early-stage AI teams have been told they have to choose between access and infrastructure

quality. The CIQ Startup Program exists to take that choice off the table. Teams doing serious

science deserve the same infrastructure foundation that runs the world's most demanding production

environments, and that starts at the OS," said Bjorn Hovland, President of CIQ.

Through the CIQ Startup Program, Axine Labs gains direct access to security patching, long-term

support, and the architectural stability maintained by the creators of Rocky Linux. RLC Pro AI ships

with FIPS 140-3 cryptographic validation, DISA STIG hardening, and CIS Benchmarks as standard

configurations, not optional add-ons. Axine Labs joins a global ecosystem of enterprises,

government agencies, research institutions, and supercomputing centers that build on CIQ

infrastructure.
