A technology talent institute, Decagon has graduated over 500 developers, who are gainfully employed by top companies around the world.   

 
According to the founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chika Nwobi, this is the first major milestone in the furtherance of the institute’s mission to push Nigeria into the top 10 software engineering countries in the world. 
 
Nwobi said this at a dinner and awards ceremony of the institute, held in Lagos, to celebrate the milestone of enabling over 500 DecaDevs.
 
The tech guru said the institute has graduated 10 cohorts with over 500 software engineers now working at multinational companies like JP Morgan, Microsoft, Sterling, RenMoney, MaxNG and Carbon, among others.
 
Stressing the need to be trained by the tech institute, Nwobi asserted that DecaDevs are developers that have been equipped by Decagon with various skills to perform optimally in the technological sector. 
 
He, however, commended Sterling Bank for believing in the institute and investing in young Nigerians as a strategic student loan partner. 
 
“We want the brightest to get access to this life-changing opportunity regardless of ability to pay. So, we provide accommodation, feeding, stipends, laptops and training on a learn-first-and-pay-later model. We equip the DecaDevs to land jobs in top companies and we are proud of them for the 100 per cent success rate and for also faithfully repaying their loans.
 
“Decagon is currently recruiting exceptional young talents for the next cohort at www.decagon.institute. Companies looking to hire Decagon graduates can request them at www.decagonhq.com/fellowship,” he said.
   
Also at the event, the management thanked the staff members of the organisation for believing in the firm’s many dreams and working towards achieving them.
