Fardeen Abdulrahman Dodo

Fardeen Dodo is an academic entrepreneur with four years’ experience in teaching entrepreneurship and developing social impact ventures in Nigeria’s northeast. As an Instructor of Entrepreneurship with the American University of Nigeria, Fardeen teaches undergraduate courses in many areas of entrepreneurship and provides business coaching to women, youths, and small business owners from neighboring communities. Fardeen’s professional aim is to be among the world’s top thinkers on how entrepreneurship can best play a role in re-inventing societies of Sub-Saharan Africa through eliminating poverty and promoting freedom, prosperity, and equal opportunity. Fardeen’s doctoral work focuses on examining how entrepreneurial action creates the changes that directly, and through ripple effects, transform our communities towards practical insights on how entrepreneurial development efforts can be manipulated to achieve targeted development results. Upon the completion of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Fardeen plans on fully developing and scaling up his ‘Impact Management’ framework to become the world’s premier approach for motivating, challenging, and helping entrepreneurs to maximize the overall development footprints of their ventures in local communities.
