On the sidelines of the G20 Summit, the edtech platform LeverageEdu has revealed its ambitious plans to invest 800 million Nigerian Naira, equivalent to approximately Rs 8.5 crore, as part of its strategic expansion in Nigeria. This significant announcement was made by Akshay Chaturvedi, Founder and CEO of LeverageEdu, during a meeting with Dr. Bosun Tijani, Nigeria's Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy.
Nigeria, recognized as a rapidly growing study-abroad market, already contributes a substantial 9 percent to LeverageEdu's global business portfolio. In acknowledging the immense potential of Nigerian youth, Chaturvedi stated, "Young leaders from the industry are what helped India succeed, and I can see the same happening with Nigeria too. We at LeverageEdu & Fly are excited about making more higher education options accessible to the Nigerian youth."
Akshay Chaturvedi was an integral part of the Indian business delegation at the 'Nigeria-India Digital Economy Dialogue,' where he engaged with Nigerian government officials and the entrepreneurial community.
Founded in 2017, LeverageEdu operates as a global study-abroad platform, dedicated to providing tailored higher education opportunities to students not only in India but also in Nigeria and other emerging nations.
The company has garnered support from a diverse array of institutions, including ETS Strategic Capital, Shorelight, Blume Ventures, Kaizenvest PE, DSP Mutual Fund, Tomorrow Capital, DSG Consumer Partners, and various family offices.
With its robust platform, LeverageEdu consistently facilitates the enrollment of over 6,000 students monthly, underscoring its unwavering commitment to fostering global educational access and opportunities for ambitious and aspiring youth. This significant investment in Nigeria's education landscape further solidifies LeverageEdu's dedication to empowering the next generation of leaders in the country.
