Idris Ayodeji Bello – The Afropreneur
“Afropreneur” Idris Ayodeji Bello – co-founder of Wennovation Hub
Idris Ayodeji Bello, the “Afropreneur.”
That’s the buzzword adopted by Bello to describe the bright, independent and tech savvy entrepreneurs using creative thinking and the power of innovation to take over Africa’s economic destiny.
“Over time Africa has relied on government and big multinationals for solutions — but they’re not coming,” explains Bello.
“But of recent you’re seeing a new wave of young men and women who have access to all the global networks, who’ve studied either within the continent or outside and have this passion for change — these are the people Africa’s change is going to come from, these are the people I call ‘Afropreneurs.'”
In 2011, Bello co-founded the Wennovation Hub in Nigeria, a technology space enabling ambitious entrepreneurs to come together and develop their trailblazing ideas into successful businesses.
