Wale Ajisebutu

21st Century Technology Limited

Profile

Wale Ajisebutu is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. With a cumulative experience portfolio of 39 years in the financial services, commodities and ICT sectors, he currently serves as the chairman/CEO of 21st Technologies Limited – a pioneer in the business of digital infrastructure.

His capacity for problem-solving and translating ideas into transformative reality distinguishes him. Driven by his undiluted passion for technology as a development lever and guided by a strong belief that a connected Africa can become a strong force in the comity of nations, he founded 21st Century Technologies Limited in 1997 after 14 years of trading in commodities. Having realised that the commodities business – though very rewarding – becomes monotonous and very unchallenging, he opted to focus on the business of infrastructure to address huge uncultivated opportunities which abound in Nigeria and Africa.

Wale hails from a very humble background. He is an incurable optimist, focused, self-motivated and disciplined. He is calm, quiet and peaceful and in his element when creating innovative solutions. His ultimate goal is to ensure Nigeria as a country realises the vision of the digital economy and plays a significant role in the fourth industrial revolution.
