Who We Are

We're Not Your Typical Data Company.

Wikrena is a data and AI company with one mission: to build the infrastructure Africa's next economy needs to grow with intelligence and precision. We work with businesses to transform how they use data, and we train the professionals who will power that transformation across the continent. Everything we do is hands-on, Africa-specific, and built to produce real outcomes.

Not reports that gather dust. Not certificates with nothing behind them. Businesses that make better decisions. Professionals who actually get placed. A data culture that compounds over time. That's what we're building, and we're just getting started.

Building Africa's Data & AI Infrastructure

I'm Chris Awoke, Founder of Wikrena.

I built this company because I believe Africa's next economic chapter cannot be written on gut feeling and guesswork. Every business decision made without data is value left on the table. Every professional who can't work with data and AI is potential unrealised.

Over the past years, I've built these skills and taught them to others long enough to see what actually changes outcomes. Wikrena is what that experience became: infrastructure built for the continent, not just one company. We're building it one business, one professional, and one cohort at a time.

Why Wikrena

Why Businesses and Professionals Choose Us.

Not because of what we say. Because of how we work.

Africa-First by Design

We work with real Nigerian and African business data, not recycled global templates. We understand the realities of this market, its constraints, and where the real opportunities lie.

Senior-Level Delivery

Every engagement is handled by an experienced team. No handoffs to inexperienced staff. No layers slowing things down. Just clear thinking and solid execution.

Practical Over Theoretical

Every engagement and every program produces something real: a dashboard, a strategy document, a portfolio project. Not reports that gather dust or certificates without substance.

Learn. Build. Get Placed.

Our Academy goes beyond teaching. You build real projects, strengthen your profile, and get placement support. The outcome is what matters.

Industry-Specific Focus

Fintech, Healthcare, and Retail tracks built for real job demands in Africa. Not generic data skills that could apply anywhere and therefore apply nowhere.

End-to-End and Beyond

We handle everything from understanding your data problem to deploying the solution and training your team to maintain it. We do not disappear after delivery.

Results

Results That Speak For Themselves.

The training was intense yet rewarding, and the support from the instructors and community keeps me motivated. I can't wait to apply these skills and transform my career!

I started unsure, but Wikrena Academy changed that. Through practical, hands-on training, I learned to confidently use Excel, MySQL, and Power BI to solve real problems. It shifted me from just learning to actually thinking and working with data.

Training at Wikrena feels like learning from someone who has actually been where you are. Chris and the team treat you like a professional in training, not just a student in a classroom, and that shift makes all the difference.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Different questions for businesses and for professionals. Pick the side that's you.

No. Both programs are designed to be accessible from scratch. If you can use a smartphone and are willing to learn consistently, you are ready. We start from the foundation and build from there.

Live. Every Wikrena Academy program runs on a live cohort model with weekly sessions, direct instructor access, and peer interaction. We don't believe pre-recorded videos alone build the kind of skills and accountability that lead to real outcomes.

You get 90 days of career support: CV review, LinkedIn optimisation, mock interviews, and warm introductions to hiring partners where possible. You also join the Wikrena alumni network for life.

Three things. First, we run cohort-based programs with a capped class size, not self-paced courses with thousands of people and no accountability. Second, every program is built on African business data, not generic global datasets. Third, we do not stop at the certificate. Career support and placement assistance are built into every program.
