One Nigerian tech founder, Samuel Seedu, is building quietly, impacting deeply, and focusing on people first.

Seedu, the founder of GPIT Nigeria, isn’t just leading another tech startup, he’s building a movement to bridge the digital divide, especially for young Nigerians who’ve long been left out of the conversation.

“We’re not just training coders,” he said, “We’re nurturing problem-solvers, innovators, and entrepreneurs, people who will shape the future of this country.”

While the spotlight often shines on Nigeria’s tech scenes in Lagos or Abuja, Seedu is focusing his lens differently, by creating opportunities in underserved communities, especially in Northern and rural regions.

Through GPIT Nigeria, he’s introduced community-driven tech cohorts, affordable digital training, and mentorship that goes beyond certificates.

“Tech shouldn’t be an exclusive club,” he explains. “It should be a tool that anyone, from any corner of Nigeria can use to unlock a better future.”

Launched from a small office with a big dream, GPIT Nigeria has grown into a training and development hub that’s empowered hundreds of youths, some of whom now work with tech firms globally or have launched their own ventures.

But Seedu insists this success isn’t just his. “It’s the team, the volunteers, the partners, and the young people who show up hungry to learn every day. They’re the reason we’re growing.”

Unlike many founders chasing the next funding round or media spotlight, Seedu’s vision is long-term and impact-driven.

“We’re not chasing hype,” he says. “We’re chasing lives changed. If one more youth goes from unemployment to building software or running a digital business, then we’re doing something right.”

For Seedu, expansion into more states and a stronger focus on female tech inclusion is the next target.

He’s eying partnerships with schools and local governments.
