At the heart of Nelson’s impact is TechPower Africa—a transformative EdTech initiative empowering young Africans with globally relevant tech skills in cybersecurity, software development, artificial intelligence, data science, and cloud computing.
Through in-person and online programs, TechPower has trained thousands of individuals for high-value tech careers across Africa and the diaspora.
In a bold commitment to equity and inclusion, Nelson is taking this mission further by providing free tech education and globally recognised certification to students in
public secondary schools across remote and underserved communities in Nigeria.
Through this grassroots initiative, TechPower is equipping the next generation of innovators, many from marginalised backgrounds—to compete globally and rise beyond limitations of geography, class, or access.
Nelson also supports lawful international migration, connecting eligible students and professionals to verified global study, work, and relocation pathways. Through
TechPower Migration’s Global Education and Career Access Unit, individuals are guided through transparent, compliant procedures for international admissions, credential verification, and migration support, ensuring integrity, ethics, and global standards.
As a Reader and Mentor for the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Nelson actively contributes to youth empowerment, civic leadership, and policy innovation across Africa.
He holds several elite certifications, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional), Cisco CCNP, and Project Management Professional (PMP), reflecting his mastery in building scalable, enterprise-grade systems.
Under Bankless Technologies Ltd, Nelson is advancing financial inclusion through decentralised platforms, leveraging blockchain and Web3 solutions to create secure,
inclusive, and open financial systems that serve underserved populations across the continent.
Nelson’s work sits at the intersection of technology, social justice, and global access. His mission is to ensure Africa’s talent is no longer hidden but globally visible, digitally equipped, and legally empowered.
“Talent is everywhere but opportunity must be built: legally, equitably, and inclusively.” Nelson invites global partners, investors, development institutions, and impact leaders to join him in shaping a future where education empowers, migration uplifts, and technology transforms.
