At the heart of IBIFoundry is a desire to empower the next generation of Nigerian and African youths. Welcome to IbiFoundry.
My Name is Simon Zaku, Founder, IbiFoundry LLC.
IbiFoundry aims to inspire young people to think bigger, dream larger, and break free from the limitations society might place on them. We are not just bystanders in the global economy—we are creators, innovators, and disruptors.
I aim to show the world the power of Nigerian talent, the potential in regions like Taraba State, and the immense opportunities available for those willing to invest in our people and our ideas.
Through my writing, speaking engagements, digital content, and coaching, I want to help build a generation of entrepreneurs who will change Africa’s narrative on the global stage.
But my mission doesn’t stop at empowerment.
I want to equip young minds with the tools they need to succeed—digital marketing, SEO, entrepreneurial strategies, and innovation. With the right resources and knowledge, I believe that the future belongs to us.
How the IBI Foundry Name Came About?
The name IBIFoundry is deeply personal to me. I chose “IBI” in honor of my hometown, Ibi, Taraba State, Nigeria. Ibi LGA is more than just a location—it’s a symbol of untapped potential, a place with rich resources and talent that has yet to be fully realized.
The word “Foundry” represents a place where raw materials are transformed into something powerful and enduring.
That’s exactly what IBI Foundry aims to do: take the raw potential within Nigeria and Africa—our people, our ideas, and our resources—and mold them into something extraordinary. IBI Foundry is where dreams are forged into reality.
