This second-time founder left his consulting business to make Nigeria’s mining data accessible
- Anthony Adejuwon founded Urban Alert in 2020 after leaving his consultancy business.
- He developed Minetrix AI, a conversational tool designed to simplify access to mining data.
- Minetrix AI has attracted over 1,200 unique users since its launch.
The growth of civic technology in Nigeria, as exemplified by Adejuwon's work, highlights a significant shift towards community-driven solutions. However, the challenge remains in ensuring that privacy and data protection laws are effectively implemented to safeguard users. Further discussions should focus on how to scale these solutions while addressing the needs of marginalized communities.
