As we enter a new season, we’re looking forward to a new chapter. For ten young women, this marks the beginning of their journey. When women come together, innovation is never far behind.

For the past four years, our Women in Tech internship has advanced Nigeria's tech scene. This year, we’ve raised the bar with our latest cohort, doubling our intern count and officially launching our Women in Tech community through the second edition of our mixer.

This year’s theme, “Control + Safe,” shows we’re commited to creating a supportive space for women. Plus, we’re excited to introduce our new cohort of ten interns from all over Nigeria, who are now joining us in driving the dreams of businesses and their customers forward

We wanted to make this community-led, so we reached out to some incredible women leading the way in their respective fields. Our goal was to explore their experiences and spark conversations about the tech ecosystem.

We brought together women from various industries and teams to share their perspectives on what it takes to create safe, empowering spaces. Their insights helped frame the narrative on how we can all contribute to fostering supportive environments in tech and beyond.

Alongside our impressive Dream Makers, we were joined by influential voices, including Wamide Animashaun, Ecosystem & Partnerships Director at Propel; Ehi Enabs, Software Engineer at Wikimedia; and Faidat Abdullahi, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at RegTech Africa.

“The mixer was more than just introductions. We created an engaging space with insightful discussions, hands-on activities, and interactive games. It was all about building connections and giving our interns a real sense of what it’s like to pursue a tech career as a woman,” said Gbemi, the event convener.

This year, our intern team has grown from 5 to 10—hence, the Dream 10. These talented individuals will be stepping into Cloud Engineering, Backend Engineering, Technical Product Management, Data Engineering, Systems Administration, Technical Support, and User Experience roles.

Here’s the lineup:

• Ruth Adetunji - Product Management Intern

• Faith Aikhumhetse-Ali - System Admin Intern

• Celestina Amadi - Cloud Engineering Intern

• Ogechukwu Ata - Technical Support Intern

• Simi Da-Walang - Frontend Engineering Intern
