About the Author

E Carro! A native Philadelphian (Pennsylvania), Kea C Olumide currently resides in the Washington, DC metro area where she is an MBA candidate at the American University. This project was completed as a requirement for a 2^nd year MBA course, Impacts of National Technology Environments on Business, at the Kogod School of Business in Washington, DC. Students were required to explore the IT landscape of a county.

I chose Nigeria because my husband is Nigerian. I’ve been to visit his family there and I absolutely love it. I’ve traveled to Lagos, Abuja, and Kaduna and look forward to exploring all that Nigeria offers. I love the people, the food, and the rich culture. I only have one problem; I can’t understand why the power does not stay one all the time! While I did not specifically research the power industry, this project has given me a greater understanding of the infrastructure challenges that developing countries face.

With almost 10 years experience in the mortgage/financial service industry and my passion for both commercial and residential real estate I hope to utilize my understanding of the IT landscape of Nigeria and make a difference in lives of many Nigerians.

I wish her people well and look forward to returning!
