How Ngozichukwu Uzoigwe Is Building an EdTech Legacy with NUVIC5M TECH SOLUTIONS LTD.

In this edition of YuSocial Spotlight, we sit down with Ngozichukwu Uzoigwe, founder of NUVIC5M TECH SOLUTIONS LTD., to explore her remarkable journey through education, technology, and entrepreneurship. From her early days in Lagos to shaping the future of EdTech in Nigeria, Ngozichukwu’s story is one of passion, resilience, and a determination to make learning accessible across generations.

From Lagos to Enugu: A Lifelong Tech Enthusiast

Born and raised in Lagos, Ngozichukwu’s educational journey began at St. Mary’s Private School, continued at Federal Government Girls College, Akure, and eventually returned to Lagos for university - University of Lagos. She built her early career working with institutions such as Wavecrest College of Hospitality, NIIT, and New Horizons Nigeria, gaining valuable experience in both education and technology.

Her academic pursuit didn’t stop there. She earned an MBA from the University of East London through an online program with a UNICAF scholarship —an experience that broadened her worldview and sharpened her entrepreneurial mindset.

“Tech has always been a lifelong passion for me,” she recalls. “I would go the extra mile in assignments, sometimes recording or printing my work, just because I loved it that much.”

This passion for continuous learning became the seed for her company, NUVIC5M TECH SOLUTIONS LTD.

The Inspiration Behind NUVIC5M TECH SOLUTIONS LTD.

The idea for NUVIC5M was born from a personal reflection: how could technology simplify life for senior citizens with dietary needs? Ngozichukwu envisioned an app that would provide tailored nutritional recommendations at a click—helping people manage diets related to conditions like cholesterol.

But she didn’t stop at health tech. She envisioned NUVIC5M as an umbrella EdTech company that would expand into diverse areas of education and training.

Today, NUVIC5M is actively running summer programs for kids and teens, designed to introduce young learners to the fundamentals of web development, coding (Scratch), Canva design, and digital creativity. The program also emphasizes soft skills such as teamwork, presentation, and collaboration, preparing students for the digital future.

Building Through Challenges: Fear, Faith, and Resilience

Like many founders, Ngozichukwu faced her share of challenges—chief among them, fear of the unknown and the difficulty of finding loyal staff who shared her vision.

“I remember asking myself: is it going to work? How will I manage people? But then I turned to my greatest motivator—God. Each time I felt fear, I asked Him, ‘Do I hit it?’ And the answer was always, ‘Shoot.’”

This unwavering faith and inner drive helped her transform fear into confidence. She emphasizes resilience and focus as her guiding principles—qualities she believes every entrepreneur needs to survive.

Lessons from Competition and Criticism

In business, competition is inevitable. Ngozichukwu recounts how competitors would quickly replicate her flyers or projects. Instead of being discouraged, she reframed it:

“There are over 230 schools in Enugu alone. There’s enough market for everyone. I just need to do my job.”

She also sees criticism as growth fuel, citing examples where feedback helped her correct mistakes and strengthen her brand.

“Negative criticism only helps us improve. At the end of the day, we’re here to serve the public.”

Family Support and Community Roots

Behind every successful founder is a support system. For Ngozichukwu, her large family of eight siblings has been a pillar of strength. Friends, family, and personal savings have helped accelerate NUVIC5M’s growth in the absence of major investors.

“Even when I go for an interview, my family prays with me,” she says warmly. “We’re all in it together.”

What Sets NUVIC5M Apart

NUVIC5M TECH SOLUTIONS LTD. isn’t just another training company. Its mission is lifelong learning across all age groups—from kids discovering coding, to teenagers exploring digital creativity, to adults and senior citizens embracing practical apps that simplify their lives.

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Ngozichukwu leaves readers with powerful words for anyone considering entrepreneurship:

• Start where you are – “The worst dreams are those never lived. Just start.”

• Never take ‘No’ for an answer – advice she attributes to a Father - St. Josemaria Escriva 

• Stay resilient and focused – “Problems will come. Hit them down, restrategize, and keep moving.”

• Don’t fear competition – “Do your job. There’s space for everyone.”
