Remote work: PH releases first 100 virtual assistant experts into the global market

…Learn a skill the world is paying for, says team lead, Mmeyene Victory Opara-Eze Port Harcourt tech hub has released 100 certified ‘virtual assistant’ experts ready to work remotely from anywhere and to any client anywhere in the world. The VA experts were unveiled Saturday 3, 2026, at the D-Line area of Port Harcourt by PH Tech Expo after a stint at ‘Ignite VA Institute’ lead by Mmeyene Victory Okpara-Eze, who is founder and team lead. The Vas were selected and camped for eight weeks to learn everything they need to operate from anywhere with just a computer set, and work for any client anywhere in the world. According Mmeyene Victor Okpara-Eze, the VAs were released into the global market after the grueling tasks from the PH Tech Expo 100 Virtual Assistant Scholarship Training Programme which was sponsored by the convener. Explaining, Opara-Eze said: “This programme is a scholarship that trained people to become professional virtual assistants, people that are skilled in tools, communication, and discipline; people that are global-client-ready. “These are things that the global market expects, and they have been trained. And the goal of this programme was simple: the skills that they need to generate income.” Need for virtual assistants: On the growing demand for Virtual Assistants, the team lead said Virtual Assistant is necessary because it is one of the most accessible entry points into remote work. “So, as a virtual assistant, you don’t need a huge capital to start; you just need consistency, you just need the skill, you just need a laptop. And the demand is worldwide and it’s growing.” The Port Harcourt factor: She said Port Harcourt has talent. “What is missing here is the access and structure. We want to show that we at Ignite VA Institute are world-class. We want to show that world-class people can come from Port Harcourt.” For the graduates, she said it means they have options: “They can freelance with the skills they have learned. This is because they can do it from the comfort of their home; they can join agencies; or they can even build their own businesses. And most importantly, they now see themselves differently, too. They have the confidence that changes everything, the confidence they need to serve the global market.” She talked about their partners, which is ‘PH Tech Expo’. “They played a very huge role in putting in this programme as the sponsors. They made it fully free for the scholars. We are really, really grateful for this opportunity. “The next line of action for the beneficiaries is for opportunities, jobs, connections, mentorship, community support, etc. That is what is next for them after this graduation. Graduation is just the starting line. So, we want to see them get job placements, earning, and also growing.” Opara-Eze went on: “One thing I would tell young people is: learn a skill that the world is paying for. Then be consistent. Now, your location doesn’t decide your future; your efforts do. So, learn a skill, be consistent, and know that even if you’re in Port Harcourt, you’re in a local government in Rivers State, it doesn’t really matter. Learn a skill that the world is ready to pay for, and put in the work and be consistent. We didn’t just train virtual assistants today, we launched careers.” On her impressions of the learners and impact on them, she said: “We didn’t just give them skills. We had the top six graduating students, and that was even difficult for us to choose. We wanted top five, we had to just add top six because the students did exceptionally well. “It’s not just the skill, both in character, because in remote work, we also teach you soft skills as well: you know, the ability to manage time, communication skill, ability to attend to details. These are things that can even shape you as a person beyond the technical know-how. The impression I have is that these students here are ready for the global market.” She said they can vouch for the ones that graduated out of the 150 that entered the scheme. On sustainability of the scheme, she said: “Nimi Walson-Jack today said this is here to stay. So, we are looking forward to more partnership with PH Tech Expo for continued training. “And of course, we have other higher, advanced learning programme for the students who just graduated as well. We have service like the ‘Service Business Accelerator Course’, where they get to learn how to position themselves as a business and not just someone who learned a skill. So, this is a more advanced course that they get to learn.” On feedback, she said it’s a community. “So, even after graduating at Ignite VA, because we don’t just train, we also launch people into jobs. So, the agency part of the Ignite VA gave birth to the institute. So, we have a community in the agency. We have people win remote work of different skill sets, different careers. They are together, we post job opportunities. So, that community is there. Even the students after now, those who want to be part of the community are also welcome. We can monitor them, we share opportunities, we even share our challenges, too, to see how they could help each other. That’s the essence of the community. They are in a whatsapp group after filling a form to register.” My message to young people: “My final message to young people is: learn a digital skill that will pay you, because the world has gone remote. We also want the government to partner with this academy. “We also look forward to more sponsors so we can lift more youths into employment. These are skills that you can render anywhere in the world. You can get clients anywhere in the world, so it’s not restricted to a particular geographical location. “We are already an African leading agency. We have people even outside Nigeria. We have some in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda. We have different VAs in different African countries. Two years ago, we held the world’s largest virtual assistant conference with speakers and participants all over the world.” The training lasted for eight weeks but the Institute continues, she stated. “We have training programmes every time. So, anytime anyone logs in, he can get trained on our platform virtually. But if you want the on-site, then we’ll have to announce the next cohort for on-site. “The training was hybrid. So, we had people learning on-site physically, and then we had people logging in via Zoom online, and they were learning together at the same time. “The world is not static; everybody is moving. So, if you don’t have anything doing, you have to connect, and you’ll be blessed and you’ll be established.” Speaking, Nimi Solomon, the CEO of Tech Nexus, which is the organizer of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, said what they are doing is basically to boost the graduation ceremony. “We are giving back to society. We came up with an idea to support our volunteers, instead of giving them stipends (money). We decided this year to train people, to build people. What we do at Port Harcourt Tech Expo is to build people for tomorrow, we build leaders for the future. “So, we decided to partner with Ignite VA. And Ignite was also an attendee, and she came to pitch for her business idea and won some cash for her business idea. And on that purpose, she got the opportunity to train the 150 volunteers and attendees on virtual assistant skill. And we’re just here to support them and still encourage them.” He said the turnout was good, and this was a gesture they would always continue, even next year. “This is because as I said, we at Tech Nexus, we are always building for the future. So, as far as Port Harcourt Tech Expo has come to stay, this also has come to stay. So, that’s it basically.” As advice to the graduands, he said: “Wherever you see an opportunity, grab it and always add value. When you’re in a space, you ask yourself: what can I do better than everybody in that space? Always add value to everything. “And our convener, Honourable Enemi Alabo George, the convener of the entirety of this whole thing, who is the convener of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, and who also proudly approved and sponsored the 150 persons, is very big when a young man and a young woman always add value. And I can see. I am also a testimony of adding value and the magnanimity of Honourable Enemi Alabo George.” Related News Nigeria’s food security challenges and solutions Oyebanji hails Ekiti’s achievements in 30, pays tributes to state creation heroes, former governors Fury plans Trump ring walk for Joshua fight Share

So, learn a skill, be consistent, and know that even if you’re in Port Harcourt, you’re in a local government in Rivers State, it doesn’t really matter. Learn a skill that the world is ready to pay for, and put in the work and be consistent. We didn’t just train virtual assistants today, we launched careers.” On her impressions of the learners and impact on them, she said: “We didn’t just give them skills. We had the top six graduating students, and that was even difficult for us to choose. We wanted top five, we had to just add top six because the students did exceptionally well. “It’s not just the skill, both in character, because in remote work, we also teach you soft skills as well: you know, the ability to manage time, communication skill, ability to attend to details. These are things that can even shape you as a person beyond the technical know-how. The impression I have is that these students here are ready for the global market.” She said they can vouch for the ones that graduated out of the 150 that entered the scheme. On sustainability of the scheme, she said: “Nimi Walson-Jack today said this is here to stay. So, we are looking forward to more partnership with PH Tech Expo for continued training. “And of course, we have other higher, advanced learning programme for the students who just graduated as well. We have service like the ‘Service Business Accelerator Course’, where they get to learn how to position themselves as a business and not just someone who learned a skill. So, this is a more advanced course that they get to learn.” On feedback, she said it’s a community. “So, even after graduating at Ignite VA, because we don’t just train, we also launch people into jobs. So, the agency part of the Ignite VA gave birth to the institute. So, we have a community in the agency. We have people win remote work of different skill sets, different careers. They are together, we post job opportunities. So, that community is there. Even the students after now, those who want to be part of the community are also welcome. We can monitor them, we share opportunities, we even share our challenges, too, to see how they could help each other. That’s the essence of the community. They are in a whatsapp group after filling a form to register.” My message to young people: “My final message to young people is: learn a digital skill that will pay you, because the world has gone remote. We also want the government to partner with this academy. “We also look forward to more sponsors so we can lift more youths into employment. These are skills that you can render anywhere in the world. You can get clients anywhere in the world, so it’s not restricted to a particular geographical location. “We are already an African leading agency. We have people even outside Nigeria. We have some in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda. We have different VAs in different African countries. Two years ago, we held the world’s largest virtual assistant conference with speakers and participants all over the world.” The training lasted for eight weeks but the Institute continues, she stated. “We have training programmes every time. So, anytime anyone logs in, he can get trained on our platform virtually. But if you want the on-site, then we’ll have to announce the next cohort for on-site. “The training was hybrid. So, we had people learning on-site physically, and then we had people logging in via Zoom online, and they were learning together at the same time. “The world is not static; everybody is moving. So, if you don’t have anything doing, you have to connect, and you’ll be blessed and you’ll be established.” Speaking, Nimi Solomon, the CEO of Tech Nexus, which is the organizer of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, said what they are doing is basically to boost the graduation ceremony. “We are giving back to society. We came up with an idea to support our volunteers, instead of giving them stipends (money). We decided this year to train people, to build people. What we do at Port Harcourt Tech Expo is to build people for tomorrow, we build leaders for the future. “So, we decided to partner with Ignite VA. And Ignite was also an attendee, and she came to pitch for her business idea and won some cash for her business idea. And on that purpose, she got the opportunity to train the 150 volunteers and attendees on virtual assistant skill. And we’re just here to support them and still encourage them.” He said the turnout was good, and this was a gesture they would always continue, even next year. “This is because as I said, we at Tech Nexus, we are always building for the future. So, as far as Port Harcourt Tech Expo has come to stay, this also has come to stay. So, that’s it basically.” As advice to the graduands, he said: “Wherever you see an opportunity, grab it and always add value. When you’re in a space, you ask yourself: what can I do better than everybody in that space? Always add value to everything. “And our convener, Honourable Enemi Alabo George, the convener of the entirety of this whole thing, who is the convener of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, and who also proudly approved and sponsored the 150 persons, is very big when a young man and a young woman always add value. And I can see. I am also a testimony of adding value and the magnanimity of Honourable Enemi Alabo George.” Related News Nigeria’s food security challenges and solutions Oyebanji hails Ekiti’s achievements in 30, pays tributes to state creation heroes, former governors Fury plans Trump ring walk for Joshua fight Share

Explaining, Opara-Eze said: “This programme is a scholarship that trained people to become professional virtual assistants, people that are skilled in tools, communication, and discipline; people that are global-client-ready. “These are things that the global market expects, and they have been trained. And the goal of this programme was simple: the skills that they need to generate income.” Need for virtual assistants: On the growing demand for Virtual Assistants, the team lead said Virtual Assistant is necessary because it is one of the most accessible entry points into remote work. “So, as a virtual assistant, you don’t need a huge capital to start; you just need consistency, you just need the skill, you just need a laptop. And the demand is worldwide and it’s growing.” The Port Harcourt factor: She said Port Harcourt has talent. “What is missing here is the access and structure. We want to show that we at Ignite VA Institute are world-class. We want to show that world-class people can come from Port Harcourt.” For the graduates, she said it means they have options: “They can freelance with the skills they have learned. This is because they can do it from the comfort of their home; they can join agencies; or they can even build their own businesses. And most importantly, they now see themselves differently, too. They have the confidence that changes everything, the confidence they need to serve the global market.” She talked about their partners, which is ‘PH Tech Expo’. “They played a very huge role in putting in this programme as the sponsors. They made it fully free for the scholars. We are really, really grateful for this opportunity. “The next line of action for the beneficiaries is for opportunities, jobs, connections, mentorship, community support, etc. That is what is next for them after this graduation. Graduation is just the starting line. So, we want to see them get job placements, earning, and also growing.” Opara-Eze went on: “One thing I would tell young people is: learn a skill that the world is paying for. Then be consistent.

The Port Harcourt factor: She said Port Harcourt has talent. “What is missing here is the access and structure. We want to show that we at Ignite VA Institute are world-class. We want to show that world-class people can come from Port Harcourt.” For the graduates, she said it means they have options: “They can freelance with the skills they have learned. This is because they can do it from the comfort of their home; they can join agencies; or they can even build their own businesses. And most importantly, they now see themselves differently, too. They have the confidence that changes everything, the confidence they need to serve the global market.” She talked about their partners, which is ‘PH Tech Expo’. “They played a very huge role in putting in this programme as the sponsors. They made it fully free for the scholars. We are really, really grateful for this opportunity. “The next line of action for the beneficiaries is for opportunities, jobs, connections, mentorship, community support, etc. That is what is next for them after this graduation. Graduation is just the starting line. So, we want to see them get job placements, earning, and also growing.” Opara-Eze went on: “One thing I would tell young people is: learn a skill that the world is paying for. Then be consistent. Now, your location doesn’t decide your future; your efforts do. So, learn a skill, be consistent, and know that even if you’re in Port Harcourt, you’re in a local government in Rivers State, it doesn’t really matter. Learn a skill that the world is ready to pay for, and put in the work and be consistent. We didn’t just train virtual assistants today, we launched careers.” On her impressions of the learners and impact on them, she said: “We didn’t just give them skills. We had the top six graduating students, and that was even difficult for us to choose. We wanted top five, we had to just add top six because the students did exceptionally well. “It’s not just the skill, both in character, because in remote work, we also teach you soft skills as well: you know, the ability to manage time, communication skill, ability to attend to details. These are things that can even shape you as a person beyond the technical know-how. The impression I have is that these students here are ready for the global market.” She said they can vouch for the ones that graduated out of the 150 that entered the scheme. On sustainability of the scheme, she said: “Nimi Walson-Jack today said this is here to stay. So, we are looking forward to more partnership with PH Tech Expo for continued training. “And of course, we have other higher, advanced learning programme for the students who just graduated as well. We have service like the ‘Service Business Accelerator Course’, where they get to learn how to position themselves as a business and not just someone who learned a skill. So, this is a more advanced course that they get to learn.” On feedback, she said it’s a community. “So, even after graduating at Ignite VA, because we don’t just train, we also launch people into jobs. So, the agency part of the Ignite VA gave birth to the institute. So, we have a community in the agency. We have people win remote work of different skill sets, different careers. They are together, we post job opportunities. So, that community is there. Even the students after now, those who want to be part of the community are also welcome. We can monitor them, we share opportunities, we even share our challenges, too, to see how they could help each other. That’s the essence of the community. They are in a whatsapp group after filling a form to register.” My message to young people: “My final message to young people is: learn a digital skill that will pay you, because the world has gone remote. We also want the government to partner with this academy. “We also look forward to more sponsors so we can lift more youths into employment. These are skills that you can render anywhere in the world. You can get clients anywhere in the world, so it’s not restricted to a particular geographical location. “We are already an African leading agency. We have people even outside Nigeria. We have some in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda. We have different VAs in different African countries. Two years ago, we held the world’s largest virtual assistant conference with speakers and participants all over the world.” The training lasted for eight weeks but the Institute continues, she stated. “We have training programmes every time. So, anytime anyone logs in, he can get trained on our platform virtually. But if you want the on-site, then we’ll have to announce the next cohort for on-site. “The training was hybrid. So, we had people learning on-site physically, and then we had people logging in via Zoom online, and they were learning together at the same time. “The world is not static; everybody is moving. So, if you don’t have anything doing, you have to connect, and you’ll be blessed and you’ll be established.” Speaking, Nimi Solomon, the CEO of Tech Nexus, which is the organizer of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, said what they are doing is basically to boost the graduation ceremony. “We are giving back to society. We came up with an idea to support our volunteers, instead of giving them stipends (money). We decided this year to train people, to build people. What we do at Port Harcourt Tech Expo is to build people for tomorrow, we build leaders for the future. “So, we decided to partner with Ignite VA. And Ignite was also an attendee, and she came to pitch for her business idea and won some cash for her business idea. And on that purpose, she got the opportunity to train the 150 volunteers and attendees on virtual assistant skill. And we’re just here to support them and still encourage them.” He said the turnout was good, and this was a gesture they would always continue, even next year. “This is because as I said, we at Tech Nexus, we are always building for the future. So, as far as Port Harcourt Tech Expo has come to stay, this also has come to stay. So, that’s it basically.” As advice to the graduands, he said: “Wherever you see an opportunity, grab it and always add value. When you’re in a space, you ask yourself: what can I do better than everybody in that space? Always add value to everything. “And our convener, Honourable Enemi Alabo George, the convener of the entirety of this whole thing, who is the convener of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, and who also proudly approved and sponsored the 150 persons, is very big when a young man and a young woman always add value. And I can see. I am also a testimony of adding value and the magnanimity of Honourable Enemi Alabo George.” Related News Nigeria’s food security challenges and solutions Oyebanji hails Ekiti’s achievements in 30, pays tributes to state creation heroes, former governors Fury plans Trump ring walk for Joshua fight Share

We can monitor them, we share opportunities, we even share our challenges, too, to see how they could help each other. That’s the essence of the community.

We have some in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda. We have different VAs in different African countries. Two years ago, we held the world’s largest virtual assistant conference with speakers and participants all over the world.” The training lasted for eight weeks but the Institute continues, she stated. “We have training programmes every time.

So, if you don’t have anything doing, you have to connect, and you’ll be blessed and you’ll be established.” Speaking, Nimi Solomon, the CEO of Tech Nexus, which is the organizer of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, said what they are doing is basically to boost the graduation ceremony. “We are giving back to society. We came up with an idea to support our volunteers, instead of giving them stipends (money). We decided this year to train people, to build people. What we do at Port Harcourt Tech Expo is to build people for tomorrow, we build leaders for the future. “So, we decided to partner with Ignite VA. And Ignite was also an attendee, and she came to pitch for her business idea and won some cash for her business idea. And on that purpose, she got the opportunity to train the 150 volunteers and attendees on virtual assistant skill. And we’re just here to support them and still encourage them.” He said the turnout was good, and this was a gesture they would always continue, even next year. “This is because as I said, we at Tech Nexus, we are always building for the future. So, as far as Port Harcourt Tech Expo has come to stay, this also has come to stay. So, that’s it basically.” As advice to the graduands, he said: “Wherever you see an opportunity, grab it and always add value. When you’re in a space, you ask yourself: what can I do better than everybody in that space? Always add value to everything. “And our convener, Honourable Enemi Alabo George, the convener of the entirety of this whole thing, who is the convener of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, and who also proudly approved and sponsored the 150 persons, is very big when a young man and a young woman always add value. And I can see. I am also a testimony of adding value and the magnanimity of Honourable Enemi Alabo George.” Related News Nigeria’s food security challenges and solutions Oyebanji hails Ekiti’s achievements in 30, pays tributes to state creation heroes, former governors Fury plans Trump ring walk for Joshua fight Share

On her impressions of the learners and impact on them, she said: “We didn’t just give them skills. We had the top six graduating students, and that was even difficult for us to choose. We wanted top five, we had to just add top six because the students did exceptionally well. “It’s not just the skill, both in character, because in remote work, we also teach you soft skills as well: you know, the ability to manage time, communication skill, ability to attend to details. These are things that can even shape you as a person beyond the technical know-how. The impression I have is that these students here are ready for the global market.” She said they can vouch for the ones that graduated out of the 150 that entered the scheme. On sustainability of the scheme, she said: “Nimi Walson-Jack today said this is here to stay. So, we are looking forward to more partnership with PH Tech Expo for continued training. “And of course, we have other higher, advanced learning programme for the students who just graduated as well. We have service like the ‘Service Business Accelerator Course’, where they get to learn how to position themselves as a business and not just someone who learned a skill. So, this is a more advanced course that they get to learn.” On feedback, she said it’s a community. “So, even after graduating at Ignite VA, because we don’t just train, we also launch people into jobs.

So, anytime anyone logs in, he can get trained on our platform virtually. But if you want the on-site, then we’ll have to announce the next cohort for on-site. “The training was hybrid. So, we had people learning on-site physically, and then we had people logging in via Zoom online, and they were learning together at the same time. “The world is not static; everybody is moving. So, if you don’t have anything doing, you have to connect, and you’ll be blessed and you’ll be established.” Speaking, Nimi Solomon, the CEO of Tech Nexus, which is the organizer of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, said what they are doing is basically to boost the graduation ceremony. “We are giving back to society. We came up with an idea to support our volunteers, instead of giving them stipends (money). We decided this year to train people, to build people. What we do at Port Harcourt Tech Expo is to build people for tomorrow, we build leaders for the future. “So, we decided to partner with Ignite VA. And Ignite was also an attendee, and she came to pitch for her business idea and won some cash for her business idea. And on that purpose, she got the opportunity to train the 150 volunteers and attendees on virtual assistant skill. And we’re just here to support them and still encourage them.” He said the turnout was good, and this was a gesture they would always continue, even next year. “This is because as I said, we at Tech Nexus, we are always building for the future. So, as far as Port Harcourt Tech Expo has come to stay, this also has come to stay. So, that’s it basically.” As advice to the graduands, he said: “Wherever you see an opportunity, grab it and always add value. When you’re in a space, you ask yourself: what can I do better than everybody in that space? Always add value to everything. “And our convener, Honourable Enemi Alabo George, the convener of the entirety of this whole thing, who is the convener of Port Harcourt Tech Expo, and who also proudly approved and sponsored the 150 persons, is very big when a young man and a young woman always add value. And I can see. I am also a testimony of adding value and the magnanimity of Honourable Enemi Alabo George.” Related News Nigeria’s food security challenges and solutions Oyebanji hails Ekiti’s achievements in 30, pays tributes to state creation heroes, former governors Fury plans Trump ring walk for Joshua fight Share
