Innovate. Build. Transform.
These three words embody the spirit of LEKKI TECH ACADEMY — a commitment to innovation, the drive to build solutions, and the vision to transform lives and communities through technology.
From a bold vision to a thriving institution shaping Africa's tech future.
LEKKI TECH ACADEMY was founded in 2018 with a bold vision: to bridge the growing technology skills gap in Africa by providing world-class, accessible technology education. What began as a small cohort of 25 students in a rented workspace in Lekki has grown into one of Nigeria's most respected technology training institutions.
Over the years, we have expanded from a single programme in software development to a comprehensive curriculum spanning data science, cybersecurity, cloud computing, AI and machine learning, UI/UX design, blockchain, product management, and more. Our campus has grown from that first small space to a purpose-built facility equipped with modern labs, collaborative spaces, and cutting-edge technology.
