Since migrating to Canada in October 2022, Ashiru has focused on empowering the local community by offering affordable tech services and selling used laptops. His approach is not just about business but about giving back, particularly to new immigrants and those facing financial hardships. Through free or discounted tech support, Chisel Technologies is actively contributing to community upliftment.
A highlight of the episode was the announcement of NigerBiz, a new business directory that aims to promote Nigerian-owned businesses across Canada. This platform, designed to increase online visibility and create networking opportunities, exemplifies Ashiru's commitment to community collaboration and economic empowerment.
