Mandela Washington Fellowship Stories: Babafemi’s Journey to AgriTech

While traveling to the USA and being exposed to different cultures and business leadership practices was invaluable, I must say that meeting other young leaders from across Africa has been the highlight of my experience. We learned from each other, and I was fortunate to spend six weeks with an incredible, inspiring 24 individuals who continue to motivate me.

Now that we are back home, I have had the chance to reflect. With the new application opening in just a few days, I thought this would be the perfect time to share some of my fellow participants’ stories. I hope that others can learn from them as I did and that any young leaders considering applying for next year’s cohort will be inspired by these stories and motivated to put their best foot forward. I can assure you, that it is an extraordinary experience.

For the first episode of this Mandela Washington Fellowship (MWF) edition, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQXs9DnuyVI&t=895s ) we have Babafemi. Join me for an insightful conversation with this AgriTech innovator from Nigeria. We’ll discuss his journey in agricultural Fintech, the impact of technology on smallholder farmers, and the future of agribusiness in Africa. You will learn about our experiences in the Mandela Washington Fellowship and gain valuable insights if you are an aspiring applicant.
