Recounting how far she has come, Ada revealed that 5 years ago she had no experience and was a novice who was spurred to go into tech because she wanted to make an impact and also work with Google.
Today, a huge part of her dream is realised following her new role at Google. A lot of young people have been congratulating her and sharing how inspired they are by her story.
An excited Ada tweeted:
“1st day resuming @ Google Nigeria!! Super excited to be coming in as the DevRel Ecosystem CommunityMgr for SubSaharan Africa!
Via my role, I would be interfacing w/dev communities, start-ups & tech hubs to grow & manage developer outreach & programs including @gdg‘s across SSA!

She then shared throwback photos from her first Tech event with no PC but with only a low-end phone to inspire other young people. She chronicled how she began her journey to excellence, not despising her little beginnings. She wrote:
