Nugi Technologies is a company that has overcome challenges and found a path to success through an innovative approach and mentorship.
The Story of Nugi Technologies
Nugi Technologies was founded in challenging times when the company reduced its workforce from 23 to 5. Under the leadership of Ugi Augustine Ugi, then CEO and now President of Nugi Group, the company was able to overcome financial difficulties and lay the foundations for future growth.
“*The workforce reduction happened in the very early days, but our leadership helped the company survive and thrive*,” says Ajoke Akinlabi, the current CEO of Nugi Technologies.
Innovative and Mentorship Approach
Ajoke shared that the foundation of Nugi’s long-term success has been partnerships and successful case studies. One such example was the project in Cross River State, which demonstrated how technological solutions can significantly increase internal revenues.
“*Our approach is not just about deploying software but also providing support and training to ensure long-term sustainability*,” she added.
Additionally, the company launched an Innovation Academy, serving both as a training ground for new specialists and a values filter during recruitment.
The Company's Future and Women's Inclusion in Tech
Ajoke actively supports the inclusion of women in the tech field. She personally mentors young women and helps them find their mentors within the company.
“*I believe it is essential to give young women the opportunity to express themselves in tech. We strive to create support within Nugi and beyond*,” she noted.
The company plans to implement new products and strategic partnerships, allowing Nugi to strengthen its presence both nationally and internationally.
The story of Nugi Technologies illustrates how perseverance, innovation, and a focus on people can transform a crisis into an opportunity. Such a results-driven and mentorship-based approach enables the company to thrive.
