ENGR. ONASILE OLUWAFEMI SAMUEL
A Vision Forged in Technology and Social Justice Founded on October 1st, 2006, SAMMY Technology Institute (STI) is the realized vision of its pioneer, ENGR. ONASILE OLUWAFEMI SAMUEL. Hailing from Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, Nigeria, Engr. Onasile established STI as the strategic nexus where Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Media Arts intersect with a profound sense of social purpose. With an educational core built on Advanced Graphics Design, Photography, and general ICT, and producing over 900 skilled graduates globally, STI's mission is deeply informed by its founder's other calling: his commitment as a human rights activist serving humanity for years. Honored with several institutional awards and maintaining a vital affiliation with the Institute of Data Processing Management of Nigeria (IDPM), STI is now expanding into critical new areas: Cybersecurity, Cinematography, and Web Development.
The Founder's Vision - ENGR. ONASILE OLUWAFEMI SAMUEL The unique identity of SAMMY Technology Institute is inseparable from the personal principles of its founder. Engr. Onasile Oluwafemi Samuel, a professional engineer from Ijebu Igbo, Nigeria, instilled a distinctive dual mission into the institute from day one: to pursue technical excellence while championing social responsibility.
