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.
