CEO who slept on Lagos streets set to complete $21m funding

When Edoka Idoko, opened the door to his office at Montgomery Street, Yaba, his confident smile and the glint in his eyes did not give away the rough patch he took to building a fintech company that has now raised $1.2 million and is about completing a $21 million Series B funding.

OjirePrime, a transparent and customer-focused bank that offers free credit cards as well as easy access to loans and innovative savings products, was built from ground zero. In 2022, the company raised $1.2 million from mostly individual investors who saw potential in the story of the company and were bold to place a bet on the company. OjirePrime has now transformed into a fintech company that services thousands of customers and is looking to expand its operations.
