Roots and Vision

Who We Are

Tikiri is Africa’s first Campus for Creativity and Innovation in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Founded by renowned actress and advocate Hilda Dokubo, Tikiri is dedicated to nurturing talents, shaping futures, and redefining Africa’s role in the global orange economy. Derived from the Ijaw word “Tikiri” meaning playground, the campus is a sanctuary where young Africans are free to learn, create, and collaborate while being guided into adulthood as responsible and distinguished members of society. “The child who is carried on the back does not know how far the journey is; but at Tikiri, we prepare them for the road ahead.”
