Our Story

Empowering Africa's Next Tech Generation

Founded in Lagos, built for Africa. We believe world-class tech education should be accessible to every ambitious Nigerian — not just those who can afford foreign bootcamps.

How It Started

Born From a Real Problem

In 2021, our founder Favour Stavy noticed a painful gap: Nigerian tech talent was world-class, but affordable, structured, quality education was scarce. The best courses were in dollars. The best bootcamps were abroad. The best instructors were untapped.

Stavy-Tech Digital Academy was built to close that gap — a platform where Nigeria's top engineers, designers, and data scientists could share knowledge while students could learn affordably in Naira, earn recognised certificates, and build careers.

Today, we serve over 12,500 students across all 36 states, with alumni working at Flutterwave, Andela, Google, Microsoft, and hundreds of Nigerian startups.

Purpose

Mission & Vision

🎯

Our Mission

To democratise world-class tech education across Africa by connecting passionate learners with expert instructors through an affordable, accessible, and outcomes-focused digital learning platform.

🔭

Our Vision

To become the leading tech learning marketplace in Africa — a platform where one million Africans gain the digital skills they need to build businesses, secure global employment, and drive economic growth on the continent.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

🌍

Accessibility

Quality education should not be gatekept by income. Every course is priced in Naira, with payment plans available so no one is left behind.

Excellence

Every instructor is vetted, every course reviewed. We maintain a strict quality bar so students always receive industry-relevant, up-to-date education.

🤝

Community

Learning is social. Our WhatsApp study groups, peer forums, and alumni network ensure no student learns in isolation.

🏆

Outcomes First

We measure success by student outcomes — jobs landed, businesses launched, incomes increased. Certificates are designed to be employer-trusted.

🔬

Innovation

We use AI to personalise learning paths, generate smart quizzes, and recommend courses — because the future of education is adaptive.

🇳🇬

Local Pride

We celebrate Nigerian ingenuity. Our curriculum includes local payment APIs, Nigerian market case studies, and Africa-focused tech projects.
