His work focuses on creating solutions that tackle the country’s digital divide and financial inclusion challenges, and his contributions are already making a significant impact.

In 2022, Ahia co-founded Vitrum Cable, an internet service provider dedicated to bringing reliable and affordable internet to underserved regions in Eastern Nigeria. The company quickly gained attention for its mission to bridge the digital divide in these areas. "Many regions in Nigeria are still without proper internet access, and we wanted to change that," Ahia explained. "Vitrum Cable is more than just an internet company; it’s about giving people the tools they need to thrive in a digital world."

In addition to Vitrum Cable, Ahia also founded the 2K Super App, a mobile application aimed at improving financial inclusion in Nigeria. The app provides users with access to a range of services, including banking, payment solutions, and business tools. "With the 2K Super App, we’re giving people more control over their finances and helping them grow their businesses," Ahia said. "It’s about empowering individuals and small businesses to reach their full potential."

His innovative approach to technology and his commitment to solving real-world problems have earned him recognition as a rising star in Nigeria's startup ecosystem. Through his ventures, he is not only driving digital transformation but also making technology more accessible to people in underserved communities.

Born in Nigeria, Ahia developed an early interest in technology, which led him to pursue a degree in Information Management Technology at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO).
Recently, as part of his dedication to giving back, Ahia installed free internet connectivity at FUTO’s Department of Information Management Technology. This initiative aims to enhance research capabilities, improve academic performance, and foster digital inclusion.

Additionally, he donated three months of free internet services to Government College Umuahia, his secondary school alma mater, supporting digital learning and access to educational resources. These acts of philanthropy reflect Ahia's strong belief in empowering the next generation through technology.


Ahia Onyedikachi is resolved to create more IT solutions that empower people and drive economic growth as Nigeria’s digital landscape continues to evolve. "This is just the beginning," he said. "I’m excited about what the future holds for technology in Nigeria and how we can continue to make a positive impact.”
