Olatunbosun Alaban-Williams

Nigerian tech entrepreneur revolutionizing digital education through blockchain

Olatunbosun Alaban-Williams, a blockchain pioneer from Lagos, has transformed vocational training in West Africa through her EdChain platform. Despite Nigeria's 33% unemployment rate, she developed an immutable credential verification system that has empowered 850,000+ graduates since 2018.

Her blockchain-based solution prevents certificate forgery while connecting employers with verified skilled workers. The system tracks 127 unique competency markers through AI-powered assessments.

Alaban-Williams' "Digital Artisan Initiative" partners with 43 technical colleges across Nigeria and Ghana, implementing UN SDG 4 through mobile learning modules accessible via USSD codes. This innovation reaches communities with 95%+ mobile penetration but under 30% internet access.
