Nafisa Akabor

Nafisa Akabor was introduced to technology back in the 80s and by the late 90s, she doubled up as family tech support along with her first encounter with dial-up internet. She's been playing around on these internet streets before Google was born; it's no surprise she ended up becoming a tech journalist in 2007. Nafisa started dabbling with EV articles back in 2017 and hasn't looked back.
