Our Story

Founded with a passion for African innovation and a belief in the power of education

PillarsAcademy was born from a simple observation: Africa has incredible young talent, but limited access to quality tech education. Our founders, having experienced firsthand the transformative power of technology education, decided to bridge this gap.

Starting in 2017 during Nigeria Youth Service Corps with just 20 students in Kebbi, Nigeria, we've grown to serve over 500 students Nigeria with the plan to cover the whole Africa Countries. Our approach combines global best practices with local context, ensuring our curriculum is both world-class and relevant to African challenges.

Today, PillarsAcademy stands as a beacon of hope and innovation, proving that with the right education and support, African youth can compete and lead on the global stage. Our graduates are building startups, joining top tech companies, and creating solutions that benefit their communities.
