As the world becomes more digitally interconnected, seamless access to connectivity and transportation services is no longer a convenience, it’s an expectation.
At the forefront of delivering this future to Africa is Ben Adeniyi, the visionary Founder and CEO of Univasa, a fast-rising technology company transforming mobility and global connectivity from the heart of Nigeria to the world.
With a bold mission to make digital infrastructure accessible, affordable, and integrated into daily life, Ben Adeniyi has steered Univasa into becoming one of Africa’s most innovative platforms for ride-hailing, transport services, and most recently, global eSIM technology.
In an ambitious leap, Univasa is now offering travel data eSIMs that allow users to activate mobile data in over 190 countries, without the need for physical SIM cards, roaming charges, or complex installations.
The company’s landmark partnership with Kalabash54, a subsidiary of travel-tech giant Wakanow, is a testament to Univasa’s expanding global reach.
Together, they have embedded eSIM services directly into travel bookings, offering international travelers an unmatched level of convenience and connectivity from the moment they take off.
This aligns with Univasa’s broader vision: to make technology intuitive, secure, and supportive of modern lifestyles for Africans both at home and abroad.
Ben Adeniyi’s reputation as a global change-maker is grounded in a practical approach to solving local problems with globally scalable solutions.
His early work with Univasa’s ride-hailing division introduced features that are now considered essential industry standards: instant driver payouts, drive-to-own vehicle financing schemes, real-time verification systems, and integrated insurance coverage for both passengers and drivers.
These features reflect Univasa’s deep understanding of the African urban landscape and its commitment to empowerment through technology.
Now, the pivot to connectivity through Univasa eSIM positions the company at the intersection of telecommunications, travel, and fintech.
Unlike typical global eSIM providers, Univasa’s offering is tailored specifically for African users, students, business travelers, digital nomads, and diaspora communities, who need cost-effective, reliable, and secure access to data across continents.
With support for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearables, and coverage spanning nearly every major travel destination, Univasa is creating infrastructure that democratizes global access.
Through these innovations, Ben Adeniyi is redefining how Africa engages with the world, not just as a consumer of global technology but as a creator and exporter of practical digital solutions.
His leadership is paving the way for a more connected, mobile, and digitally inclusive continent.
“As a company built on innovation, we believe digital transformation should be seamless and empowering,” says Ben Adeniyi.
“From offering instant mobility services to connecting travelers in over 190 countries, Univasa is building the tools that make freedom of movement and communication a reality for everyone.”
The trajectory of Univasa under Adeniyi’s leadership underscores a broader shift: Africa is no longer waiting to be included in the global tech conversation, it is leading it.
With strategic partnerships, user-centered design, and a relentless focus on innovation, Ben Adeniyi and Univasa are not just solving problems, they are shaping the future of how Africans move, connect, and thrive in a digitally fluid world.
Univasa is an Africa-focused digital platform that provides mobility, connectivity, and payment solutions across Nigeria and internationally.
Its services include ride-hailing, digital fare verification systems, and global eSIM technology designed for seamless travel and communication.
