Born in 1986 in Obudu, Cross River State, Ugi Augustine Ugi’s life was marked by the challenges of being diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Spending a significant portion of his childhood in and out of hospitals, he became acutely aware of the stark contrast between his fragile health and that of his siblings and schoolmates.…
However, separating his newfound feelings for tech from his long-standing ambition of becoming a doctor proved challenging. Ugi still believed he could have pursued a career in the medical field while simultaneously becoming a technology-savvy person. Torn between these two paths, he continued to write the Joint Admission Matriculation Board exams to gain admission into the university, determined to explore both avenues.
Undeterred by this setback and not one to remain idle, Ugi secured an unpaid internship at a technology company, seizing the opportunity to deepen his understanding of systems and gain invaluable insights into running a technology-based business. Concurrently, he started assisting people in Nigeria with purchasing items from Amazon and facilitating the shipping process from the U.S., providing him with a steady source of income.

I left to build a place nurturing young talent from scratch in technology, so they can impact society with quality solutions addressing critical problems. That’s what I’ve done today,” Ugi says on his motivations for founding Nugi Tech. Beyond its groundbreaking work in Nigeria, Nugi Tech has expanded its reach internationally, building a solid clientele in the United Kingdom across immigration and medical tourism.Ugi’s journey from a childhood battling sickle cell anaemia to leading a transformative technology company exemplifies courage, persistence and an unwavering belief in his ability to rewrite his narrative.
