Ange Yapo

Cote d'Ivoire & University of Cape Town, 2025

Ange holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in International Business and Trade from the African Leadership University in Rwanda, where he focused on the impact of public university curricula on graduates’ employability in West Africa.

Ange is dedicated to tackling poverty in Africa through education. With a life mission aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 1 (No Poverty) and 4 (Quality Education), he believes in creating shared wealth for Africa by empowering youth.

His passion for education led him to write a Book Collection called “African Revolution”, where he explored the pressing need to reimagine education in Africa with thought-provoking titles like “A Moment Of Silence: Africa Has Killed Its Heroes in a Soup of Ignorance”, “Orientation: Align Passion and Career”, and “Education Of The 21st Century: “Teaching Method in GenZ”.

Ange founded FYL Africa, an initiative aimed at equipping young talents with brilliant ideas on entrepreneurship skills, through various constructive workshops and incubation programs.
