Abdullahi Chinade Abdullahi is a creative entrepreneur and tech enthusiast from Bauchi, Nigeria. From a young age, he carried a deep passion for using technology and creativity to solve real problems, especially in communities where access to innovation was limited.

His professional journey began in media and storytelling, where he produced impactful projects such as Garin Barau and Rigar Gaskiya, works that reflected culture and social issues in Northern Nigeria. Over time, his path gradually evolved into technology, design, and entrepreneurship. With resilience and vision, he went on to establish Niixo Ltd, a creative-tech enterprise dedicated to empowering Africa’s youth, businesses, and communities through innovative solutions.

The name Niixo itself carries a powerful meaning. It symbolizes innovation, creativity, and fresh perspectives. It reflects a forward-looking mindset: helping Africa move from being consumers of technology to becoming creators of solutions. Even the double “ii” in the name has purpose, representing innovation + inclusion, two values deeply woven into the company’s DNA.

Through Niixo Studios, Abdullahi has delivered branding, social media, and content creation services to brands such as AMF Fashion, Stylex Wears, Almuhibbah Open University, and others. In the tech space, he has developed youth-centered platforms like Zeeroh, a freelancing and microfinance app, and Dliva, an on-demand motorbike delivery solution that leverages WhatsApp for accessibility. These experiences not only shaped his versatility but also gave him the resilience to create and scale a solutions-driven company.

Although much of his journey in tech and entrepreneurship has been self-taught, Abdullahi never stopped learning. He immersed himself in AI, digital creativity, entrepreneurship, and public speaking. This learning mindset became the very foundation of Niixo’s culture, a company that experiments, adapts, and grows constantly.

Growing up in Northern Nigeria, Abdullahi saw first-hand how the lack of access to technology and innovation limited opportunities for young people. This reality ignited his drive to change the narrative. His philosophy has always been simple but powerful: African solutions must be designed by Africans, with cultural authenticity and global competitiveness.

Niixo Ltd was built on this philosophy and continues to embody values of innovation, inclusion, authenticity, excellence, and impact. Every project is created not just to exist, but to solve real problems. From Zeeroh empowering youth with digital earning and learning opportunities, to Dliva redesigning logistics with local realities in mind, to initiatives like Women in Tech and Emerge Creatives Conference that empower women and creatives in Northern Nigeria — Niixo remains committed to building native, practical, and scalable solutions.

The journey, however, has not been without challenges. Abdullahi has faced issues ranging from power outages that damaged equipment, to skepticism in a market still warming up to tech adoption, to balancing limited resources with big ambitions. Yet, through resilience, partnerships, and innovation, he learned to start small, build trust, and grow steadily.

His long-term vision for Niixo is bold. He dreams of expanding from a Bauchi-based company into a pan-African platform, unlocking access to technology, creativity, and innovation ecosystems across Abuja, Lagos, and eventually the entire continent. He sees Niixo as a hub of African innovation, one that trains, empowers, and transforms.

Engagement and trust remain key pillars of his work. Abdullahi connects with audiences through impactful social media campaigns, partnerships with schools and foundations, and landmark events such as Women in Tech and Emerge Creatives Conference. His belief is clear: trust is built by staying authentic, delivering results, and remaining accessible.

Among his proudest achievements is the Women in Tech initiative, a gender-based digital skills program that began as a local CSR effort. Today, it has grown beyond expectations and has even been adopted by the international NGO, shurahforall.org. This milestone stands as proof of how small, local solutions can blossom into globally recognized initiatives.

Looking forward, Abdullahi is excited about the projects Niixo is preparing to launch including the Zeeroh App (a youth ecosystem), Dliva (WhatsApp-powered logistics), and DeenFlow AI, an Islamic tech-driven da’wah media initiative. Each of these innovations reflects his core vision: combining technology, creativity, and culture to push boundaries.

To young entrepreneurs who dream of using technology and creativity to solve African problems, Abdullahi offers timeless advice: start with the problems around you, use the tools you already have, remain authentic, think big but scale step by step, and always build for impact first, profit will follow.

This is the story of Abdullahi Chinade Abdullahi, a visionary who believes Africa’s future will not be imported, but built from within.

Thank you.
