The Nigerian tech ecosytem had many pivotal moments, with lots of people doing important things, but this is our list of the 10 most influential of them all. This is perhaps one of the hardest lists to make ever. That’s because many people work hard to move the us forward, whether in the spotlight or in the shadows. But we spoke to people who live and breathe this space, and asked them who their most influential 10 are in the space. The metrics we used are; They’ve earned the trust and respect of the community, they make shit happen, and they’re very proactive in pushing the ecosystem forward.1. Iyinoluwa Aboyeji. Iyin’s work in the past few years has earned him a place on this list for the next year or two already. From helping build Andela, to his current work with Flutterwave, Iyin is helping us believe, and hope.2. The #ForLoop Army. These guys, led by Ridwan Olalere, are building the largest community of developers and tech enthusiasts, one meetup at a time.
