Abubakar Shehu Idris

Driven by a relentless curiosity, I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems. Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered customer-centric, cutting-edge solutions, whether by identifying cost-effective off-the-shelf products or developing custom solutions from the ground up.

My skill set is honed to bring innovation that enables firms to thrive. This is what I’ve achieved for clients across various sectors in Nigeria and beyond, and what I will continue to deliver as I provide technical expertise on industrial products.

As a lifelong learner, my intellectual inquisitiveness fuels my passion for continuous growth and innovation. I am deeply committed to harnessing the transformative power of Blockchain and AI. My focus is on developing applications that drive business growth, enhance transparency, optimize processes, and address real-world challenges.

My competitive nature pushes me to excel, both against myself and others. I thrive on challenges, especially turning a ‘no’ into a ‘yes.’ My superpower is my tenacity, and my personal mantra is ‘Just do it.’

When I’m not immersed in technology, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and discussing the latest tech trends. If you’d like to connect or pick my brain, feel free to reach out: abubakar@stonetechsquare.com.

I believe new founders and the startups they lead can derive immense benefits from deep learning, networks, investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships that my past experiences and connections can afford them. I also believe that a steady stream of this mentor-driven capital is essential to growing the pipeline of successful startups on the continent.

Young entrepreneurs need help, but many don’t know where to find it. I’m not claiming to have all the answers, but on a 10-step journey, someone at step 6 can still guide those at step 2 or 4.
