Neviant Analytics established itself as a major player in tech talent development by awarding the scholarships at its flagship event themed “Leveraging Analytics and AI to Become a Tech Talent” held in Lagos over the weekend.
At the event, participant Jimoh Olamilekan won a scholarship worth N320,000 to study Data Analytics at the Neviant Analytics Academy, while 52 participants won a free LinkedIn optimization training session to enhance their LinkedIn profiles to improve their online presence and increase networking and career advancement opportunities.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Lemuel Yore Odior, Chief Executive Officer, Neviant Analytics, while sharing his inspiring journey, revealed that he began his entrepreneurial journey at the tender age of 13 and over time, developed a profound vision to improve technical education in Africa, particularly empowering women in the tech industry.
She added that she was motivated by seeing first-hand how access to quality technical education can break down barriers and create opportunity, and witnessing the transformative power of technology and education in her own life.
She said: “We have a vision to develop a new generation of tech giants who can lead Africa into a future of innovation and technological advancement. We recognise the gender gap in the tech sector and are passionate about equipping both men and women, young and old, with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in this rapidly evolving industry.”

Speaking at a panel session on the topic at the event, Yole Odior, founder of Fushure Consulting, noted that new entrants into technology are needed to leverage data analytics and artificial intelligence tools.
According to him, artificial intelligence is a self-learning and self-improving technology and will play a key role in this process by helping new entrants into the world of technology.
He pointed out that a simple way to optimize emails sent to people is to use “If” and “What If” statements, which optimize communications by tailoring messages to different situations and recipients, making emails more personalized and engaging.
Meanwhile, Co-founder of PAASE Marketing Company, Peter Ebuka Agbo, stressed that visibility is as important as skills, urging participants to view platforms like LinkedIn as more than just a social media platform.
He said, “How you view LinkedIn will determine what it truly means to you and how it impacts your life. If you view LinkedIn as a social media platform, it will always be a social media platform for you. You need to leverage LinkedIn by understanding your niche, being intentional with what you post, and being consistent.”
Muhammad Suleman, Chief Operating Officer, Neviant Analytics, stressed the importance of guidance and mentorship, saying it is one of the key benefits Neviant Analytics offers to students.
Suleman further highlighted that Neviant Analytics courses include live online learning, industry-relevant curriculum, hands-on applications and proficiency in toolkits such as Excel, SQL, Python, PowerBi, Trello, Jira, Confluence and Draw.io.
