Project Gallery

The idea for Hebron Plug came together in March 2022. While serving as an Enactus team lead, I saw one of the biggest challenges facing student entrepreneurs at Covenant University: there were plenty of them, but no single way to connect them to potential customers. The answer was an aggregator — one platform bringing student businesses and their customers together.

The name came from "Hebron," Covenant University's nickname, and "Plug" — someone you can always depend on.

"The first real validation came when we won the Hult Prize."

From there we kept building — participating in the Milan Hult Prize round, and running one of our biggest events, the Hebron Plug Raffle Draw during the 2023 College Week (pictured below). After that, we set our sights on expanding beyond Covenant University; our first attempt at another school, under the name "Fair Plug," wound down in September 2023 — but it was a valuable first exposure to building a startup.

All thanks to the support of Dr. Mayowa Agboola, curator of the Hebron Startup Lab.

Nitro Earth started with an Enactus sustainability brief and a specific, ugly problem: cattle abattoirs generating pollution with nowhere for the waste to go. The insight was simple but underused — cow blood, properly processed, is rich in nitrogen. We set out to convert it into fertiliser instead of letting it pollute.

That year we pitched the product at the Enactus Nationals and landed in the top 10 ideas nationally. From there we took it to the Professor Ayodele Awojobi Design Competition (PAADC) — Nigeria's largest undergraduate innovation competition — where Nitro Earth secured a ₦1.5 million seed grant to develop the product further.

"We combatted pollution by turning cow blood into fertiliser."

Oasis was an ambitious station reform system I worked on as an intern at TotalEnergies, under Francis Obiajulu. Within six months of interning, we were able to deploy Oasis across forty stations in Nigeria.
