Since officially registering and launching MacTech O.A Nigeria Enterprises in 2016, Nigerian tech entrepreneur Afeez Akinfola Oyinloye has steadily carved out a name as one of the most promising digital product innovators in West Africa. His journey began much earlier in 2014 when he founded MacTech as a grassroots solution to bridge the technology gap in civic infrastructure, education, logistics, and SME operations.
Six years later, his company is at the forefront of Nigeria’s product-led digital transformation, training hundreds of young tech talents, delivering practical platforms to underserved sectors, and building partnerships that extend beyond Nigeria’s borders.
Raised in a modest family as the last of seven children, Oyinloye’s love for technology began by fixing electronics in local shops before pursuing a degree in Information Systems from the University of East London. That same spirit of curiosity now fuels his work as the CEO of MacTech, where technology is applied not just to solve problems, but to empower communities and create jobs.
“My mission from day one was clear — to use tech as a tool for real development, not just convenience,” he explains. “I wanted to build things that matter.”
Digital Product Sales and Revenue Growth This Year
This year proved to be pivotal for MacTech. Despite a global slowdown due to COVID-19, the company saw a surge in demand for localized, affordable digital solutions. By year-end:
- Over 60 digital products were sold across Nigeria, including backend dashboards, school management systems, online voting platforms, and ERP tools for cooperatives.
- The company generated ₦43 million in digital product revenue — its highest single-year earnings to date.
- MacTech’s platforms served over 80 client organizations, from private schools to public agencies and logistics companies.
Products were especially popular among SMEs and religious organizations needing fast digital onboarding during the pandemic. One of the standout offerings was a secure eVoting platform, which was white-labeled for associations and NGOs, ensuring transparent elections in a socially distanced era.
By this November 2020, Oyinloye had already begun building the internal systems that would become WakaForMe Ride—a homegrown ride-hailing and errands platform that would launch in 2021. Backend tools for real-time driver analytics, customer support, and payment reconciliation were already in beta testing.
The Road Ahead
Afeez Oyinloye’s vision for MacTech extends beyond Nigeria. With 60+ digital products built, ₦43 million earned so far this 2020, and a growing base of developers and users, MacTech is quickly becoming a platform company with continental ambition.
His leadership reflects a blend of deep technical knowledge, business acumen, and social commitment qualities that position him not just as a successful tech founder, but as a civic innovator shaping the next decade of Africa’s digital economy.
