Moniepoint Inc. has graduated the second cohort of its DreamDevs Bootcamp, deepening its investment in homegrown engineering talent as Nigeria’s fintech sector grapples with a growing shortage of skilled software developers needed to sustain Africa’s digital economy.
The financial technology company said the programme is designed to address the widening gap between demand for experienced software engineers and the available talent pool.
At a Demo Day event in Lagos themed “Training Done!
