Ogun state is one of those places where people expect the least from when it comes to the tech space and because of this mindset, it is often overlooked and most achievements are even deemed to be beyond the state unlike Lagos which is already a known tech hub in Nigeria with several startups and tech talents, Grazac challenges this mindset.
