Edswot Consulting Limited, an education technology company providing multi-curriculum learning solutions, has been named on the 2025 BusinessDay Top 100 Fastest Growing Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria, placing it among businesses recognised for growth, scalability and contribution to education access.
Edswot was established in August 2024 and functions as a digital learning platform that links students with qualified educators in various nations. The organisation offers education in languages, coding, music, and test preparation in addition to tutoring services that are in line with British, American, Nigerian, Canadian, and Irish curricula. Its model is intended to close access gaps to high-quality education across various regions and socioeconomic strata.
Edswot saw quantifiable growth and utilisation throughout three continents in its first year of operation. The platform has helped more than 200 students, provided more than 15,000 tutoring hours, and increased exam pass rates by more than 30% for students who are exam-focused, according to the startup. Additionally, the organisation employs over 80 qualified tutors, offering structured instructional assistance and revenue prospects.
Oluwatobi Godonu Akapo, the founder and CEO of Edswot, has experience in business development and sales leadership in technology-driven firms, including Edukoya, Jumia, Kwik Delivery, and Shuttlers. Edswot’s early growth strategy and market positioning were influenced by Akapo’s expertise in team building and scaling operations.
Edswot has embraced a community-centred approach to education delivery under his direction. “One Child, One Future,” the company’s scholarship program, offers underprivileged kids discounted educational options. In order to combine cultural preservation with global competitiveness, it also provides training in global languages like French and Spanish as well as native Nigerian languages like Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa.
Criteria like revenue growth, innovation, scalability, market expansion, and business sustainability are used to produce the BusinessDay Top 100 Fastest Growing SMEs list. Edswot’s early-stage performance and expanding relevance in Africa’s education technology ecosystem are reflected in its inclusion.
According to Edswot, it intends to increase learner reach and tutor engagement while extending its operations into other African markets and the US. The business stated that it is still committed to expanding access to high-quality education via an impact-oriented, scalable, and technology-driven strategy.
