Nigeria, which is home to Bytehub, is the most populous country in Africa with one of the largest populations of youths in the world, comprising over 70 percent of young persons between the ages of 15 – 35.

Currently, Nigeria’s unemployed youths of 13.1 million figure is more than the population of several African countries put together. The prevalence of a high rate of unemployment, harsh economic conditions and poor educational system has contributed immensely to the spread of cybercrime among a section of the young populace who are tech savvy.

We saw an opportunity to create a platform that can help develop human capital, so that the country can keep pace with the rest of the world technologically. At Bytehub, we believe that the high population of Nigerian youths can become a global asset, if properly harnessed via our capacity building and training programmes. Our mission is to be able to empower 120 Nigerian Tech-preneurs annually via our capacity building initiatives.
