In this episode of Made in Africa, I sit down with Jeffrey Uzoka, Co-Founder & CEO of MandatesVR, a groundbreaking virtual reality platform making immersive tech accessible to anyone with just a smartphone. From education and industrial training to real estate virtual tours and e-commerce, MandatesVR is breaking barriers and redefining how industries adopt VR in Africa and beyond.

Jeffrey shares his inspiring journey, starting from his early childhood where he was once considered “not a bright student.” Through resilience and consistency, he turned that perception around, finishing secondary school as a top performer. He went on to launch a profitable clothing line inspired by Aba’s vibrant fashion industry, before excelling in real estate sales in Lagos. It was there that he discovered the market gap that would eventually spark the idea for MandatesVR.
