Dataphyte is a media, research and data analytics organisation with the mission to deploy data tools and technology for the socio-economic development of Nigeria.Dataphyte collects and transforms data into accessible formats and produces insights and interactive visualisations for better decision-making. It provides access to data useful for public, private and development sectors.
Our goal is to fill the lacuna in data accessibility, especially in formats that support governance, policy analysis, and accountability work in Nigeria. Without doubt, policy and development planning is currently based on outdated datasets and often extrapolated estimates. As an intervention, Dataphyte was launched to provide the accountability and policy sectors with cleaner, analysed, easily-accessible and usable data to drive democracy and development in Nigeria.
Joshua Olufemi is the Founder and Publisher of Dataphyte. Joshua Olufemi is a media innovation and development entrepreneur who believes that the media can recreate itself as a viable and sustainable pillar of good governance and global development.
