The Group Managing Director, SystemSpecs Holdings, Mr John Obaro, has been bestowed with the ‘Lifetime Achievement Special Award’ at the Chief Information Officer Awards for his decades of outstanding stewardship and selfless contribution to the development of ICT space in Africa.

In a statement, it stated that this follows a similar development two weeks prior when Obaro also received a ‘Special Recognition Award’ at the Nigeria Fintech Awards for his pioneering leadership in the development of the fintech ecosystem in Nigeria.

In expressing his appreciation to the organisers of the awards, Obaro said, “I am excited to see that our work is appreciated. Three decades ago, we started SystemSpecs with the vision of being the software institution of reference in Africa, and so far, the journey has been fruitful.

“In collaborating with other stakeholders in the industry, we have been able to accelerate our output and increase our value to customers by offering them simplified and innovative software solutions. Be assured that we will not rest on our oars.”

Obaro founded Systemspecs Ltd 30 years ago and in the last decade, SystemSpecs has become a trailblazer in the Nigerian e-Payment space with its Remita solution, which enables efficient and easy payments and collections of funds for Individuals and corporates.
