Nigeria’s tech scene isn’t just about startups and funding rounds, it needs storytellers who can take those developments and make them meaningful. One such voice right now is Tage Kene‑Okafor, a Nigerian tech journalist who has been covering Africa’s startup and venture capital world with clarity and insights.

Tage spent years reporting for TechCrunch, one of the most respected global tech platforms, where he covered big topics like fintech deals, AI, venture funding, and emerging tech trends across Africa.  Even more impressive, he brought African stories  from Lagos to Nairobi — to a global audience, making local innovation understandable to readers worldwide.

What’s cool about his work is that it doesn’t just hype up funding numbers, he digs into what tech means for real people, real businesses, and real economies. Whether he’s writing about fintech startups, venture capital moves, or the wider ecosystem, his reporting helps you understand why it matters. 

And he’s not stuck in one place. In late 2025, Tage announced his departure from TechCrunch after five years of shaping how the world sees Africa’s tech story, hinting at new directions ahead.
