AfriLabs, Africa’s largest network of tech hubs, has partnered with MSwitch Creative Hub to connect African professionals with global remote work opportunities.
The two organizations signed an MoU in Abuja, Nigeria, on March 21, 2025.
Why it matters
Africa has a growing pool of highly skilled professionals, but many seek opportunities abroad due to limited local prospects. This initiative aims to reverse that trend by providing sustainable remote work options while strengthening local economies.
The details
- AfriLabs and MSwitch will connect African talent with global companies in industries like software development, cybersecurity, healthcare, and digital marketing.
- The initiative is launching with 2,000 immediate job placements, scaling to 250,000+ jobs within 18 months.
- AfriLabs also signed an MoU with Cybersecurity INC USA, integrating its Remoting.Work platform to facilitate recruitment and training.
What they’re saying
- Ajibola Odukoya, COO of AfriLabs: “By enabling professionals to work remotely for international companies while staying in their local environments, we are fostering homegrown innovation and strengthening local economies.”
- Zainab Salami, Co-Founder of MSwitch Creative Hub: “With over 53% of young Nigerians unemployed or underemployed, this initiative is a game-changer. We are positioning Africa as a hub for digital and creative excellence.”
