We’re pleased to share TechCabal’s feature on Aniekeme Umoh, published on 28 May 2025. The profile explores her journey into education technology and her work as Chief Operating Officer of the uLesson Group and Miva Open University.
From cross-sector experience to education
The feature traces Aniekeme’s career through technology consulting at PwC and technical programme management at Peloton, alongside her experience building an MBA admissions practice before returning to Nigeria in 2023. That breadth of experience became part of the foundation for her work at Miva.
TechCabal describes how she began with academic operations and progressively took on wider responsibilities, including developing Miva’s organisational structure and its 2024 budget. It is a story of building the systems and teams that allow an ambitious educational institution to grow.
Building access at scale
The article also examines Miva’s approach to distance learning, complemented by physical study spaces such as its Yaba study centre. At the time of publication, TechCabal reported that Miva had enrolled nearly 10,000 students in under two years and highlighted its MIND voice-based AI learning tool.
At the heart of the feature is a long-term ambition to reach one million distance learners. For our team, the profile captures the connection between disciplined operations and a larger purpose: making higher education more accessible.
