Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) is a social enterprise seeking to help deliver ICT for socio-economic opportunities in Nigeria. Having worked with government, civil society, private institutions and international organisations, PIN has set standards in ICT education, telecentre support, ICT applications in rural areas, and other ICT4D interventions in Nigeria. PIN provides five key services: Consulting, ICT Capacity Building, Research, Telecentre Support and Youth-led Social Technopreneurship. Through these services, PIN connects individuals, people-groups, institutions and communities with the socio-economic opportunities that ICTs provide.
SESAN 'Gbenga - is presently Nigeria’s Information Technology Youth Ambassador, the Africa Co-ordinator for the Global Library Project (www.globallibrary.org), and he also leads the Paradigm Initiative Nigeria team. He holds a B.Sc. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria and his present interest is in the application of Information Technology to development, in order to bridge the digital divide.
He is an Africa 2001 Fellow of the International Telecommunications Union and holds a Lagos Business School certificate for completing the Venture in Management Programme (organized jointly by Lagos Business School and Junior Achievement of Nigeria).
