Management, ICT Capacity Building
Training, Marketing and Project
Management. He consults for state and
local governments, private sector
corporations, academic institutions and
NGO’s, and due to his strategic
partnerships with ICT organisations in
different parts of the world, he and his
team are always on the cutting edge of
this fascinating but highly fluid sector.
Nigerians are leaders and given half the
chance they will dominate every
business sector in the world. Ibrahim
Mohammed has set out a robust plan to
expand his company across the African
continent, and he is planning to invest
heavily in product development so that
instead of Africa having to import
technology from countries such as
America and India, they will instead
become exporters.
Ibrahim Mohammed is an innovator
and a product development specialist
and he is determined to reposition
Nigeria and transform it into the
technology giant that it has the
capacity to become.
There was a time when America led the
world in the manufacturing and ICT
sectors, but today China has taken over
the manufacturing sector of the world’s
economy and produce nearly 70% of the
world’s consumer goods and India has
emerged as the ICT capital of the world.
Nigeria, a nation with a population fast
approaching 200 million, 75% of which
are below the age of 20, certainly has the
potential to outperform both China and
India in the ICT and Manufacturing
sectors if an enabling environment is
created for them to thrive.
Ibrahim Mohammed is part of a new
breed of Technology Entrepreneurs in
Nigeria who are not afraid to
challenge the status quo, break
barriers and chart a new course for
the industry. In 2014 he will be
launching a brand new Television
program called “Tomorrows
Technology” where he and his panel
of leading industry experts will
discuss current and future trends in
the technology industry, and inform
Nigerians on the current
opportunities that are available
within the ICT sector.
