DreamPulse Media has announced Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flutterwave, as one of the distinguished honourees at the maiden edition of the DreamPulse Tech Awards.

The recognition comes at a defining moment in Agboola’s career, as he was recently conferred with the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) by the Federal Government of Nigeria for his outstanding contributions to the nation’s technology and financial services sectors.

Under his leadership, Flutterwave has processed billions of dollars in transactions and has become one of the continent’s most celebrated fintech companies.

The DreamPulse Tech Awards, dedicated to spotlighting innovators pushing Africa’s digital transformation, described Agboola’s recognition as a testament to the critical role technology leaders play in Nigeria’s growth story.

“Olugbenga Agboola’s journey embodies the spirit of African innovation. His work with Flutterwave is not only transforming commerce across the continent but also positioning Nigeria as a hub for world-class technology,” said the organizers.

With this honour, Agboola joins a growing list of Nigerian tech leaders being celebrated both locally and globally for their groundbreaking impact on business and society.
