Interview

Ommo Clark is Driven By | I am driven by the belief that I have a duty to make a positive contribution to society and help people. A lot of people are born into circumstances and situations which they did not choose by themselves and they have no means to get themselves out of these situations. My mission is to use technology as a tool to help people and businesses get from where they are now to where they want to be. For example, one of the key issues facing households in Nigeria is finding competent tradespeople for their household repair and maintenance jobs. To solve this problem, I decided to build an online portal where people can easily and conveniently find certified and vetted tradespeople in their areas for their repair and maintenance jobs. However in researching and recruiting tradespeople to be listed on this application, we found that the vast majority of artisans in Nigeria have never had the opportunity to get an education or receive professional training simply because they were born into very poor families who send them out to work as soon as they are old enough. So in addition to providing a platform for the tradespeople to advertise their services which coincidentally was also an issue for them because of huge traditional advertising costs, they also get a chance to be receive basic training and improve their skills.

My Highlights | Graduating from university in the top five of my class both for my first and second degrees were very special moments especially as I worked full-time throughout my studies to fund my education. Furthermore, returning to Nigeria and building my businesses from grounds up with very little money, support or connections has been amazing. The businesses are not yet where I want them to be, but the reception we are getting so far is just incredible. Last year, I entered one of my soon-to-be-launched online businesses – Handy Jacks into a business plan competition organized by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), we made it to the semi-finals out of nearly 700 initial applicants across Africa and the feedback I received is that ‘Handy Jacks has the potential to change a lot of lives across sub-Saharan Africa and make a huge impact’. This made me proud.
