A seasoned author, Mrs. Oremeyi Akah, in her 22 years career in Nigeria’s Fintech space has been able to send messages of hope to Africans in her book, Two Decades and A Dream. At the book Launch held at Four Point by Sheraton, Victoria Island, Lagos, Mrs. Akah, described the book as “a call for every one of us to look within, to actually birth solutions that make real impact because I believe that it would take Africans to build Africa.
‘The book is a clarion call to every African—especially young women and aspiring leaders, urging them to lead, and to leave an indelible mark not only on one’s industry but on the continent itself.
‘The book is more than just my Memoir. It’s also a call to inspire. Africa has a lot of challenges and a lot of people just sit down and complain. In the book, I was able to share my dream of how I am the pioneer staff of Inter-switch. I have been able to work with the company to build solutions that solve problems,” she said.
The book also shares light on her decades-long journey in the Fintech industry, while unravelling the vision required to grow a homegrown African company into a continental success. It traces the remarkable professional journey of the author.
The Publisher of the book, who also doubled as her husband, Mr. Ejimofor Akah, described the author as a passionate optimist for Africa, who is deeply committed to unlocking the continent’s immense potential.

Mr. Akah described the book as one that would inspire anyone who has ever nurtured a dream to do something meaningful, to build, to innovate, to uplift, and to lead Africa into a future rich with hope and possibility.
“This book is more than a memoir; it’s a masterclass in grit, grace, and growth. Through the pages, readers are drawn into the vibrant world of financial technology in Africa, seen through the eyes of a woman who dared to dream big and work tirelessly to bring those dreams to life.
“Readers will take a lot of positivity from this book, understanding that there is a lot of hope in Nigeria and Africa. There is wealth in Africa. We Africans must open our eyes and take advantage of the potentials we have in Africa in order to build ourselves. Africa is ours. We have to build it. The book is available at Iwemi.com and Amazon,” he noted.
A friend to the author, Mr. Ayodeji Adelagun, said: “Underpinning the writing of the book, it’s her passion to give back to society, have her experience documented and to also tell the story of how her drive to bring a solution to problem, has brought her to where she is today. “This book, I’m sure is inspiring. It encourages people to impact Africa particularly. It’s about Africans bringing solutions to Africa. This is a documentary of how that is possible.”
