Philip Asuquotes is a strategy consultant, writer and futurist who is dedicated to seeing that Africans rise up and intelligently tackle the problems that plague the continent.

He studied Mass Communications in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and is also an alumnus of The Future Enterprise Development Program (TFEDP), an enterprise training scheme recurrently held in Lagos and supported by Microsoft and Aiki Nigeria. As an undergraduate, Mr Asuquotes was concerned about the intellectual growth of the Nigerian youths and this led him to establish a youth/campus newspaper called CAMPUS POST. He had earlier partnered with a friend to run a youth-centric magazine published quarterly but was not satisfied with it because the magazine’s content was mostly entertainment. Mr. Asuquotes wanted a more intellectually engaging platform and this is why he went on to establish the said youth/campus newspaper. The newspaper quickly made him etch his way into the circles of University professors, consultants and politicians who read Campus Post and had him meet with them from time to time to discuss pressing national issues as well as give him certain projects to consult on. This signaled the beginning of his career as a consultant and over the years, Mr Asuquotes has consulted for several clients on various projects. Philip Asuquotes is concerned about the pace of growth of African nations and the place of Africa in the global future. He is committed to ensuring that Africans and African nations berth and pursue visions that will collectively uplift the continent.
