The Nigeria Technology Awards is an annual industry recognition programme established to acknowledge individuals and organisations contributing to the advancement of Nigeria’s technology ecosystem.
The awards span multiple digital sectors, including education, finance, and enterprise technology, and are assessed by an independent panel of industry practitioners and ecosystem stakeholders.
Earlier this year, Anas Garba was recognised as one of the recipients of the Emerging Tech Product Leader of the Year in the Education Technology Sector award.
The recognition reflected his growing professional standing as a product manager contributing to the development and delivery of digital education platforms, particularly through his work at uLesson.
The award category is intended to recognise early- to mid-career product professionals who demonstrate clear progression, increasing responsibility, and meaningful contribution to technology-enabled products within their sector.
Multiple recipients are typically selected each year to reflect emerging leadership across Nigeria’s technology landscape.
At uLesson, Anas has been closely involved in the development and iteration of curriculum-aligned digital learning products used by secondary school students.
His work has focused on improving lesson structure, learner engagement, and usability across mobile devices, which serve as the primary access point for learners across uLesson’s operating markets.
The recognition acknowledged Anas’s role as a hands-on product practitioner, rather than a founder or senior executive, highlighting his direct involvement in shaping learner-facing features and improving the overall product experience.
His selection as one of the recipients reflects both individual contribution and the growing relevance of education technology within Nigeria’s digital economy.
This award provides third-party validation of Anas Garba’s professional trajectory in digital technology and supports his positioning under the Exceptional Promise route, where assessors look for credible indicators of future leadership.
