Meet Precious Akhilorme, YandyTech’s Community Manager! Precious is a Statistics graduate from the Federal University of Technology, Minna. She has explored different paths, from UI/UX design to community management and programme development. Along the way, she discovered her passion for bringing people together and creating spaces where they can learn, connect, and grow. She is particularly passionate about youth empowerment, women’s advancement, and digital inclusion. For Precious, it is not just about building communities; it is about helping people find the knowledge, connections, and opportunities they need to move forward. Through her work, she continues to turn ideas into meaningful experiences that create value for others. And as a result of this, she has contributed heavily to the growth of our community by providing them with links to decent opportunities and also creating opportunities for capacity building amongst many other KPIs she has hit since her onboarding to the YandyTech team. #HumansOfYandyTech #YandyTechAt8

Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, discover her potential, and decide what her future looks like. Yet, for many girls, barriers such as child marriage and unequal access to opportunities continue to stand in the way. This International Day of the Girl Child, under the theme “End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls’ Rights”, we are reminded that empowering girls requires more than words. It requires action, access, and sustained investment in their potential. At YandyTech, we believe that when girls have access to digital skills, knowledge, mentorship, and opportunities to innovate, they are better equipped to shape their futures and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Our commitment to inclusive innovation means working towards a future where every girl has the opportunity to learn, lead, create, and thrive. #YandyTechCommunity #EndChildMarriage #Internationaldayofthegirlchild

Eight years ago, we dared to imagine a future where technology could unlock opportunities, empower young people, and transform communities. Today, that vision is a story of impact, resilience, and growth. What began as a simple belief has grown into eight years of learning, innovation, and community-driven change. From equipping young people with digital skills to creating pathways in employability, civic engagement, peacebuilding, and climate action, our journey has always been about one thing: turning possibilities into real opportunities for people and communities. As we celebrate 8 years of YandyTech Community, we are grateful for the lives we've touched, the communities we've grown with, and everyone who has helped shape our story. Eight years of ideas turned into action, challenges turned into opportunities, and communities empowered to thrive. And the exciting part? We're just getting started! Watch this space! #YandyTechAt8 #YandyTechCommunity

Some stories began before independence.
Some were born along the way.
And some are being written right now. At 66, Nigeria is not simply looking back at where we have been. We are standing at the intersection of everything we have inherited and everything we have the power to create. The young innovator building something from a simple idea.
The community choosing to collaborate.
The person using technology to open a door for someone else.
The voices refusing to be left out of the conversation. These may seem like small moments, but nations are built through moments like these. At YandyTech, we believe the future of Nigeria is not a distant destination. It is something we build—one idea, one connection, one community at a time. So today, we celebrate not only how far Nigeria has come, but the possibilities that lie ahead. 66 years of Nigeria Independence.
A story still unfolding.
A future still ours to build. Happy Independence Day, Nigeria. #NigeriaAt66 #YandyTechat8 #IndependenceDay

Excited to be selected as a Muryanmu Champion! Looking forward to learning, connecting and contributing to making reliable civic information more accessible to our communities. Let’s get started. @T4PCLab @yandytech
Meet the Muryanmu Champions! We’re excited to welcome the young leaders selected to become Muryanmu Champions — a network of passionate changemakers committed to taking Muryanmu beyond the platform and into their communities. As Champions, they will help introduce Muryanmu to their networks, encourage more people to access and use verified civic and election information, and spark conversations around informed and responsible civic participation. Because information only creates impact when it reaches the people who need it. We wholeheartedly welcome The Champions to the movement! Together, we’re taking Muryanmu — Our Voice, closer to more communities across Nigeria. #Muryanmu #T4PCLab #YandyTechCommunity #OurVoice

We are scaling Muryanmu. YandyTech Community is pleased to announce Muryanmu (Our Voice) V2.0, a nine-month civic technology initiative supporting access to trusted and understandable civic and electoral information ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 General Election. With support from @CIVICUSalliance through the Digital Democracy Initiative (DDI), the project will focus on Kaduna, Kano and Katsina, strengthening MurBot, multilingual access, electoral information tools and community outreach. Our goal is simple: help citizens, especially young and first-time voters, find, understand and verify civic information more easily. #Muryanmu #CivicTech #DigitalDemocracy #CivicEngagement #YandyTechCommunity

Through this new support, we’ll be refurbishing and strengthening the Muryanmu platform, improving features such as verified election information, polling-unit information, voter education, civic guidance, electoral safety insights, multilingual access, and MurBot. The goal is to make the platform more user-friendly, accessible, effective, and responsive to the needs of the communities it serves.

PEACE STARTS WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE SPACE TO SPEAK, LISTEN, LEARN, AND ACT. Over the past two days, we brought together 20 young people in Kaduna for the Youth Peace Innovation Lab Bootcamp under the Tech4Peace and Citizen Lab initiative of @YandyTech in partnership with Thrive360 Youth Initiative. It was more than just a training. Participants shared experiences, asked difficult questions, listened to different perspectives, and explored practical ways young people can contribute to peace in their communities. We looked at what drives conflict, how dialogue can help, how to understand different community stakeholders, the importance of community listening, Youth, Peace and Security (YPS), and how technology and innovation can support local peacebuilding. Most importantly, the conversations were grounded in the realities young people see and experience in their own communities. And this is only the beginning. The next step is taking these conversations beyond the room and turning what was learned into practical, community-informed ideas and solutions. We are looking forward to seeing what these 20 young people do next. #YouthPeaceInnovationLab #YandyTechCommunity #Thrive360YouthHub #YouthPeaceAndSecurity

It started with the home-row keys. It ended with 130 graduates. In April 2026, young people walked into our SolutionLab ready to learn digital skills. Twenty-four weeks later, they are typing faster, creating documents and spreadsheets, designing presentations, protecting their data, and using AI responsibly. We are proud to announce that 130 participants have graduated from the Technology To Locals (TTL) Project, delivered by YandyTech Community through SolutionLab, with support from @48percent_org Across 72 training days and 144 sessions, participants completed six core digital skill tracks—from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint to Digital Safety, Privacy, Internet Usage and AI Literacy. Each module included practical projects and assessments to ensure they could apply what they learned. These graduates are now better prepared for jobs, business, further study, and safe participation in the digital world. To our graduates: you showed up, kept learning, and earned this. To our facilitators and team, thank you for your dedication. And to @48percent_org thank you for investing in local talent and making this possible. Technology transforms communities when it reaches people where they are—one learner at a time. #TTL #TechnologyToLocals #SolutionLab #YandyTechCommunity #48percent
