The CEO of Flutterwave, Olugbenga Agboola, believes that Nigeria doesn't lack ambition but needs to focus on turning dreams into reality. Speaking at an event for Nigeria's Independence Day, he encouraged Nigerians to use knowledge, courage, discipline, and resilience to build big projects. Agboola shared his own experiences of starting Flutterwave, highlighting that despite Nigeria's challenges, it has taught him to dream big. He emphasized that while many African businesses have great ideas, they often struggle due to a lack of infrastructure. Flutterwave has aimed to solve this by creating solutions for moving money across Africa, which has gained the trust of global companies. He stressed that resilience is key to overcoming challenges when building a business and urged people to keep dreaming but also to learn and execute their ideas. Agboola concluded by stating that building infrastructure is a collective effort that requires collaboration among individuals, businesses, and the government.
