About VIISAUS

At VIISAUS we are passionate about Nigeria. We leverage technology, data and insights to try and explain the enigma that Nigeria has become in order to make it a better place to live….or in other words - to fix Nigeria. We VIISAUSIANS believe in the dream of Nigeria that once existed and put all we have into using our skills and efforts in a team setting to achieve that dream. As we like to say, ‘VIISUAS exists to fix Nigeria, once Nigeria is fixed, there will be no need for VIISAUS.

VIISAUSIANS believe that developing societies can be re-engineered to become more relevant within global contexts and concentrate our skills and efforts in different teams to achieve that dream. Established in 2016, we are a consulting partnership with practice desks within the functional areas of Politics, Technology, and Market Research. Our culture and values speak to placing our vision as a priority. We value hard work, teamwork, and being passionate about what we do while having fun in the process! We are a company of “ordinary people” with “extraordinary minds” committed to sustainable development.
