Julieth Agbo is a Data Governance Specialist and digital inclusion advocate dedicated to helping organisations and individuals unlock the power of data responsibly and equitably. With a background spanning IT education, operations leadership, and data management, she brings both technical expertise and community insight to her work. As a founder and mentor, Julieth is committed to equipping youth and women with the skills, confidence, and access needed to thrive in the digital economy.

From Self-Learning to Systems Leadership

Julieth’s career did not begin in a boardroom or tech hub. It started with teaching foundational digital skills. As an IT Instructor at the Nigerian Airforce Base in Kaduna, she trained learners in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, helping them build confidence in basic computer literacy. That experience gave her firsthand insight into the power of access and how even entry-level skills can open doors.

Her path soon expanded into operations and project management. As an Operations Manager at a Facility Management Consulting and Training Centre, she led marketing initiatives, partnerships, and project coordination. These roles strengthened her ability to design programs, manage teams, and build sustainable systems, skills that would later define her work as a founder.

Specializing in Data Governance

As a first-generation graduate pursuing a career in tech, Julieth understood the challenges of limited mentorship and access. Rather than see this as a barrier, she leaned into continuous learning. Over time, she developed expertise in data analytics, data management, and ultimately Data Governance, where she now helps organisations manage data as a strategic asset.

Julieth believes that an organisation’s journey to Data governance starts with understanding the critical value of data. This is why she actively promotes digital and data literacy amongst individuals and organisations with the aim of supporting them to take the first step to being a data governance organisation.

Her work in data governance goes beyond compliance or systems. It is about understanding organizations data governance maturity level, forging strong partnerships with cross-functional stakeholders, and using data responsibly to drive informed decisions. This technical foundation anchors all her community-focused initiatives.

Founding A-Aston Technologies and Data for Her

Julieth is the founder of A-Aston Technologies, a remote business support and training company that connects entrepreneurs with capable talent while creating meaningful earning pathways for youth and women. Through this platform, she bridges the gap between opportunity and readiness, ensuring that talent from underserved communities is not overlooked in the global digital economy.

She also founded Data for Her, a free data literacy initiative designed to introduce women and young people to foundational data skills and the future of digital work. Through workshops, mentorship, and practical learning experiences, Data for Her demystifies data careers and makes them accessible.

Her Digital Literacy Workshops equip participants with hands-on skills, guidance, and confidence, helping more women and youth see themselves as active contributors in the digital age.

Community Leadership and Advocacy

Beyond her ventures, Julieth serves as a Leader in the Nigerian M365 Community, where she supports initiatives advancing Microsoft 365 careers, projects, and community development. She is also the voice behind the Extraordinary Women blog, a platform dedicated to sharing opportunities, stories, and role models that encourage women and girls to pursue leadership and technology with confidence.

Across all her work, Julieth remains deeply aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Quality Education (SDG 4) and Gender Equality (SDG 5). Her programs are designed not just to teach skills, but to restore dignity, expand access, and redefine what is possible for the next generation.

Redefining Impact Through Technology

Julieth Agbo’s story is not just about data or digital tools. It is about access, intention, and impact. She represents a growing generation of African women using technology as a lever for social change, proving that innovation can be both technical and deeply human.

Through education, data governance, and community-driven initiatives, Julieth continues to build pathways for young people and women to earn with dignity, access global opportunities, and transform their futures through technology.

Social media became more than a pastime for many of us during the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, it became a point of curiosity. As someone driven by impact, I wanted to understand how digital platforms truly work beyond posting and scrolling. This led me to research deeply, earn the Google Digital Marketing Certificate, and take several copywriting courses that revealed the often-overlooked power behind digital media.

As I learned more, I began to notice something troubling. Many young people were using social media almost exclusively for entertainment, without recognising its potential as a tool for learning, influence, and opportunity. That realisation pushed me to look for ways to share practical insights with young people, helping them use social media to support their businesses, careers, and personal growth.

This intention led to the Digital Impact Session: How to Use Social Media for Social Good, held at NICON Plaza, Central Business District, Abuja. The event brought together participants from youth-led organisations, advocacy groups, and community schools. The goal was simple but important: to help young people understand how social media can be used responsibly and strategically to create positive change.

Social Media Beyond Entertainment

The session explored how social connections have shifted from physical spaces to digital platforms, increasing the amount of time people spend online. While this shift presents challenges, it also creates educational and developmental opportunities. I emphasised that when individuals share short videos, infographics, and interactive content that promote learning and social good, they contribute to responsible digital growth, especially for younger audiences.

Key discussions were centred around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), responsible online behaviour, and using digital media as a tool for personal development and business growth. Participants were encouraged to think critically about the content they consume and share, and to understand the role they play in shaping online narratives.

Digital Responsibility and Online Safety

Another important focus of the session was digital safety. Participants were guided on the importance of verifying information, avoiding the spread of misinformation, and being mindful of false narratives. In a time when content travels quickly, understanding how to engage responsibly online is just as important as learning how to grow an audience.

Building Purpose-Driven Digital Presence

During the workshop, participants were introduced to content planning strategies, value-driven storytelling, and digital tools for amplifying causes. These are the same principles I apply in managing my Social Impact Blog, Extraordinary Woman Blog. We explored how to build an online presence that aligns with personal values while remaining authentic and impactful.

The session also highlighted how social media can be used not just to express opinions, but to lead conversations, influence communities, and support meaningful causes.

Reflections from Participants

The feedback from participants was deeply encouraging. Many described the session as timely and eye-opening.

One participant shared, “I never really saw how my online voice could be used beyond jokes, news, and entertainment. This session showed me how to create content that actually promotes change.”

Another noted, “I’ve always wanted to grow my business using social media, and this feels like a strong starting point for building something meaningful.”

Others shared that the workshop increased their confidence and motivation to use their platforms more intentionally and to explore ways to share their experiences in a way that inspires change.

Using Digital Tools with Intention

Young people today have access to more digital tools than any generation before them. However, this access also comes with the temptation to misuse these platforms in ways that can affect personal development and career growth. Throughout the session, participants were encouraged to view social media not just as a space for expression, but as a platform for leadership, influence, and contribution.

When used intentionally, social media becomes a powerful tool for social good—one that can support learning, business growth, advocacy, and long-term impact.
