Meet the 15-year-old founder transforming African education with simple, problem-solving technology.
Oluleye Testimony is not just a coder; he is a problem solver. Born on Christmas Day, 2010, Testimony believes his journey is a testament to God’s grace and a calling to serve his community through innovation.
While many kids his age were just playing games, Testimony was watching how schools operate. He noticed a painful pattern: brilliant educators were being buried under mountains of paperwork.
He realized that most school software was either too expensive for Nigerian schools or so complicated you needed a degree just to use it.
"I saw school owners struggling with things that should be easy. I realized that if I could use my gift for coding to make their lives easier, I could help thousands of students get a better education."
Driven by the belief that "through God’s grace, all things are possible," Testimony approaches technology with humility. He doesn't build to impress; he builds to lift burdens. He listens first, talks to teachers, and creates tools that feel human, not robotic.
Testimony’s entrepreneurial spirit isn’t limited to schools. He is also a graphics designer, Video editor, web developer, and in general, multimedia designer."
Testimony understands that for a tool to work in Nigeria and across Africa, it can't just be a copy of foreign software. It needs to be:
Great technology shouldn't only be for the wealthy. Skoolify is priced so that even small, growing schools can access top-tier management tools.
It should feel like using a basic smartphone app, not a heavy computer program. No IT degree required to run your school.
Built to work fast, even when the internet isn't perfect. We prioritize speed and stability over fancy, unnecessary animations.
"Technology should never intimidate people;
it should set them free to do what they love."
