Joy Nwaiwu Bio (LinkedIn)
Joy Nwaiwu is building inclusive digital communities where the people who are usually an afterthought become the priority. As a Community and Program Manager for Nigeria's 3 Million Technical Talent initiative under the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, she supports over 10,000 learners across Rivers State through a programme designed to close the digital skills gap at national scale. Her work spans community strategy, content, events, and the kind of day-to-day engagement that keeps people from falling through the cracks of large government programmes.But Joy's impact extends well beyond her official role. She mentors early-career professionals and entrepreneurs through ADPList, Techrity, and MentHer. She also runs two newsletters reaching over 2,500 readers across Nigeria's tech and civic communities. Her work has earned recognition across the sector. She is a Meta Certified Community Manager, a GIZ-certified Digitalisation Consultant and the sole female recipient of the Community Builder and Ecosystem Advocate award at the 2025 Face of Rivers Tech Awards. She is currently pursuing an MSc degree in Social Innovation. Joy is not just managing communities. She is making them count for people who need them most.
