Why we exist

Talent is everywhere. Access to a community shouldn't depend on your city.

Naija Dev Club brings developers together to learn, share and build. Beginners get mentors and a path forward. Experienced engineers get a place to give back and meet the next generation.

We start in Abuja, then grow city by city across the North and the whole country, each chapter run by local leads.

What we do

Six ways to learn, connect and build

Monthly meetups

A short talk, a hands-on workshop and time to meet other developers in person.

Talks

Developers from Nigeria and abroad share how they build, ship and grow their careers.

Mentorship cohorts

8 to 12 week programmes pairing learners with working developers, aimed at a first job or gig.

Student hackathons

Hackathons for secondary school and university students, built around real local problems.

Community impact projects

Members build open-source tools with local schools, clinics, markets and NGOs.

Online, every day

Recorded talks and tutorials on YouTube, plus daily help and job posts on WhatsApp.
