Hi everyone!

I am pleased to share that we published a new community interview with Ihueze Nwobilor, Senior Programs Officer with Paradigm Initiative https://paradigmhq.org/.

Ihueze’s work is focused on digital inclusion and on making digital technologies accessible to the underserved communities in numerous African countries, including Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. He also led Paradigm Initiative’s advocacy and policy work to unblock Twitter in Nigeria in 2022.
