Nigerian Saheed Adepoju studied the Advanced Computing Masters Degree at Bournemouth University.
He is the founder of the Encipher Group, a technology company that launched the ‘Inye’, the first Tablet computer aimed at the African market.
“I think like the African Steve Jobs!” the 28-year-old told a national newspaper, for an article on the African business boom.
The Inye uses Google’s Android system, costs only £130 and upwards, and the second generation is under production.
The specialist apps feature Nigerian music and HIV-prevention advice in local dialects. Mr Adepoju started Enciper in the UK before returning to Nigeria in 2008.
Bournemouth University specialises in computing and is home to the award-winning National Centre for Computer Animation.
