Moniepoint unveils 6th Women in Tech Internship campaign

Moniepoint, foremost digital financial services provider and Africa’s fastest-growing financial institution, has opened applications for the 2026 edition of its Women in Tech internship programme. The programme is in its sixth year.

Launched under the theme, There is Space for You, this year’s campaign is a direct invitation to women across Nigeria who have the talent, the drive, and the ambition but access has been a challenge.

The choice of the theme, according to a statement reflects intentionality as despite significant progress in recent years, women continue to account for just 25% of Nigeria’s tech workforce, even as they represent nearly half the population and 22% of annual STEM graduates. “Moniepoint’s Women in Tech programme has spent five years working to close the gap and facilitate access for women”, the statement said.

“Building on the success of last year’s “Dream 15” cohort, the programme’s largest intake to date, the 2026 edition continues to scale, offering an expanded number of roles across some of the most sought-after disciplines in the industry which include Cloud Engineering, Frontend and Backend Engineering, Data Engineering,, Systems Administration, Product Management, Information Security, Mobile Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, These roles represent the technical foundations on which the future of digital finance in Africa is being built, and Moniepoint wants women at the centre of that work”.

The statement said successful applicants will receive a competitive salary, work tools, branded merchandise, and direct mentorship from experienced practitioners across the business. As with previous cohorts, participants who demonstrate strong performance will be considered for full-time employment, a pathway that has already transformed the careers of women from the programme’s earliest editions.

Chinaza Nduka-Dike, Head, People Operations at Moniepoint Inc., expressed the company’s continued commitment to the initiative. “With the Women in Tech programme, we are not just inspiring inclusion, we are actively creating sustainable pathways for women to thrive in the tech industry. This is a space where diversity fuels innovation, and through programmes like this, we are empowering women to take on leadership roles, develop crucial skills, and shape the future of technology. The progress we have seen across five cohorts, where alumni have gone on to make significant contributions to the company and the wider tech ecosystem, fills us with pride. There is space for the next generation, and we are ready for them.” Further information on available roles and how to apply is available at the Women in Tech website, https://womenintech.moniepoint.com
