If I can do it for the past 10 years, bootstrapping the business, surviving, and thriving in Nigeria, others can too.

Their journey, which began in a small home office after Fasuyi resigned from formal employment, underscores a powerful message of entrepreneurial spirit and belief in Nigeria's potential. "If I can do it for the past 10 years, bootstrapping the business, surviving, and thriving in Nigeria, others can too," Fasuyi stated, emphasizing that belief is a key driver of success.

Their focus on AI and international expansion signals a maturing tech ecosystem in Nigeria, capable of competing on a global scale. The recognition of local partners like Stanbic IBTC, Airtel Nigeria, and MTN Nigeria further emphasizes the collaborative spirit driving technological advancement within the country. This celebration is not just about VDL; it's about the burgeoning digital economy in Nigeria and its promising future.
