A Message from our Chairman
A Heritage of Leadership and Service
My journey began in the Oyo Kingdom of Nigeria, where the values of leadership and
community service are part of my royal heritage. As a Prince and a social entrepreneur, my
lifelong mission has been to create platforms that empower individuals to rewrite their own
stories. EDC Praia is the realization of that mission here in Cabo Verde
Excellence in Every Word
At EDC Praia, we combine academic rigor with practical application. My professional
background—including a Bachelor’s in Accounting, a Master’s in Accounting and Finance, and a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA)—allows me to lead this institution with a focus on excellence and strategic growth.
However, it is my role as a certified EFL tutor that brings me closest to our students. I understand firsthand the challenges and triumphs of mastering a new language. We are not just teaching grammar; we are building confidence and professional capacity.
