Oxford University and the AFLI also awarded the agency’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Uzoma Nwagba and 22 other emerging African leaders picked across the continent, with 2019 Archbishop Desmond Tutu Leadership Fellowship. Selection into the lifelong Fellowship attests Nwagba’s role in delivering one of the world’s most impactful tech-based SMEs intervention programmes and the world’s largest public micro-credit scheme. A statement issued by AFLI revealed that Nwagba is passionate about running public institutions like ethical businesses. “By the time I am done repaying the loan, my goods would have reduced drastically and it stops me from growing the business.
