Biography

Fidelis Anosike is the founder of Folio Media Group, a multi-media company which owns Daily Times Nigeria (founded 1926), the country’s oldest and most noteworthy newspaper. A graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative & Applied Fine Arts from The University of Benin and the OPM Program at Harvard Business School, Mr. Anosike was ready to tackle the mountainous task of turning around the near-century-old newspaper. In 2009, Folio sought to create a distribution that would serve the entire length and breadth of Nigeria, with a goal to deploy 50,000 points of sale across the country to restore Daily Times to its former glory. During this pursuit, he realized how important energy, specifically electricity, played a role in what they were trying to accomplish. After much research, he discovered that over 598 million out of 800 million+ people living in Sub-Saharan Africa, are “off grid.”
