The National Institute of Professional Engineers and Scientists (NIPES) has conferred one of its most prestigious recognitions on Mr. Oluwafemi Clement Adeusi, honoring him with the Excellence in Information Technology and Smart Systems Award. The award was presented in recognition of his groundbreaking innovations in network security and connectivity, most notably his first-of-its-kind Clefa Modem, and his sustained contributions to advancing science and technology in Nigeria.
Mr. Adeusi, who holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a master’s degree in Computer and Network Security, has steadily risen to prominence as one of Nigeria’s most impactful technology innovators. His pioneering work on the Clefa Modem, developed in 2022, has been widely celebrated for addressing one of Nigeria’s biggest challenges: unstable and fragmented mobile network connectivity.
By eliminating the frustrations of call drops, failed transactions, and internet disruptions, Adeusi’s Clefa Modem has been hailed as a potential game-changer for Nigeria’s digital economy. Experts believe it will foster digital inclusion in rural communities, enhance mobile banking reliability, and support industries reliant on stable broadband connectivity.
Mr. Adeusi’s recognition by NIPES comes as the latest in a growing list of accolades that reflect his excellence and leadership in the technology sector. In 2021, he was awarded the Nelson Mandela Leadership Award of Excellence and Integrity by the West African Youth Council under ECOWAS, celebrating his contributions to youth empowerment, innovation, and leadership, while also working as IT Manager at High Tech Data System company at Surulere in Lagos.
In October 2023, he was admitted as a Fellow of the Commonwealth Academy of Leadership and Management (CALM) in the United Kingdom, a distinction reserved for individuals with outstanding achievements and proven impact in their fields. His international standing was further cemented when Helm Weldios University conferred upon him an Honorary Doctorate Degree in recognition of his contributions to Computer Science and Network Security.
These recognitions, together with the NIPES Award, affirm that Mr. Adeusi has consistently demonstrated the vision, innovation, and resilience required to shape the future of technology in Nigeria and beyond.
Speaking at the NIPES ceremony, officials described Mr. Adeusi as a role model for the next generation of Nigerian engineers and scientists. “This recognition highlights not only his technical ingenuity but also his commitment to leveraging innovation for national development,” the citation read
Industry stakeholders and government ministries, including the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, have also expressed pride in his accomplishments, acknowledging the importance of his innovations in advancing Nigeria’s digital infrastructure.
With his leadership at Clefemad Tech, Mr. Adeusi continues to expand the frontiers of innovation, building on the momentum of the Clefa Modem project. His work exemplifies how Nigerian ingenuity can compete on the global stage, addressing critical challenges while creating opportunities for growth.
As Nigeria seeks to diversify its economy and embrace the digital age, the achievements of visionaries like Oluwafemi Adeusi stand as beacons of possibility; reminders that with talent, resilience, and innovation, Nigeria can lead not only in Africa but in the world of technology.
