From 12:12 am WAT on Wednesday, March 10, through dawn, tech Twitter in major African cities bubbled into a broth of inspirational quotes and hot takes. âFlutterwaveâ was a trending topic in Nigeria with over 10,000 tweets before 10 am.
Much of that attention was focused on Olugbenga Agboola, the fintech startupâs CEO, and his team of 300+ staff members spread across their headquarters in San Francisco and Lagos.
Agboola started Flutterwave with Iyinoluwa Aboyeji in 2016. Less than five years later, Agboola – the former PayPal engineer and Google product manager – has masterminded an African startupâs fastest-ever rise to unicorn status.

Parents of the abducted Government Science College Kagara students and relations of their staff are patiently waiting to see their children who were released this morning from the captive of their abductors.
They were, however, denied access to the state owned NSDC Suites to reunite with the abductees as medical examination is being conducted on them.
Journalists were also disappointed as they were refused entrance into the place to speak with the victims.
The victims would be officially received by the state Governor, Alh. Abubakar Sani Bello at 3 pm at Government House after they have freshened up.
