Moniepoint Strengthens Homegrown Talent, Graduates Second Cohort

Moniepoint, a prominent digital financial services provider in Africa, celebrated the graduation of its second DreamDevs Bootcamp cohort. The event, themed ‘Training Done! Demo Up,’ showcased capstone projects developed by participants to industry-standard engineering levels.

The bootcamp represents a significant investment in cultivating top-tier engineering talent within Nigeria. Felix Ike, Moniepoint's Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, emphasized that DreamDevs is a structural investment in the nation's digital economy. While the program is not exclusively for Moniepoint's recruitment, the company is proud that some graduates from the first cohort have already joined its engineering team, demonstrating the potential of young African engineers when provided with adequate training and support.

This initiative directly supports Nigeria's broader national objectives for enhancing technology skills. By equipping young professionals with advanced engineering capabilities, Moniepoint contributes to the growth and competitiveness of the country's burgeoning tech ecosystem. The program aims to foster talent that can operate at the highest international standards.

DreamDevs is a structural investment in Nigeria’s digital economy, not a recruitment exercise, not a pipeline built solely to serve Moniepoint’s hiring needs. That said, we are proud that some graduates from our first cohort are already active members of our engineering team, proof that when young African engineers are given the right training and the right environment, they can compete at the highest level.
