Finding a space to work and grow a business can be challenging, but it’s no longer an issue for Jackson Chukwueku Osieboh. With the help of GCL Hub, a coworking space for entrepreneurs and startups in Nigeria, Jackson was able to secure the perfect working environment for his current project. Now, he can focus on Lolius Technology Ltd., which aims to train mobile repair professionals and fix devices. Read more about Jackson’s story, here!

When did you  join GCL Hub?

I joined GCL Hub March 20th, 2018

What project are you currently working on?

Lolius Technology Ltd., which is an online and offline mobile device repair and training company that is helping mobile users hire the right electronic repair professionals, as well as training today’s young people to become mobile repair leaders across Africa.

What inspired you to start your current project?

I moved to this venture after I experienced the hassles that mobile users in Africa must face, like Nigeria trying to hire the right electronic repair technicians first-hand.

How GCL Hub has impacted your business?

GCL Hub has done more than enough – more than even a charitable organization could even do. When we started Lolius, we didn’t have an office space to work from. We wouldn’t have had an adequate space if we hadn’t approached the co-founder and Head of Business (HOB) of GCL Hub, Mr. Olaosebikan Opeyemi, who has a great passion for supporting young people doing something worthwhile. For over three months we’ve been working from the Hub, and we haven’t paid a penny.

The GCL Hub  has really helped us in the following ways:

— Enjoyed 24/7 free and fast internet network service.

With all of this support, we have been able to raise funds to transform our company from an ordinary business into a registered business that operates officially.
