We started with a simple frustration shared by every Nigerian with a car. Coil is our answer and we are just getting started.
It was a Wednesday morning in Lagos. Ifunanya Nwokedi was already late for a meeting when her fuel gauge hit empty. She drove to three stations all dry. The fourth had fuel but the POS machine was down. She paid cash, got no receipt, and arrived 40 minutes late.
That evening she called Opeyemi. By the weekend, they had mapped out what would become Coil a platform that tells you who has fuel before you leave, lets you pay safely from your phone, and gives you a digital receipt every single time.
We did not build Coil to be another fintech. We built it to fix something real — something every Nigerian with a car knows is broken. The fuel market in Nigeria moves ₦2.1 trillion every month. That transaction is still broken. We exist to fix it.

We started in Nigeria but we think and build for the entire continent. Africa is our market.
At Coil, we believe in building technology that has real, meaningful impact on the daily lives of Nigerians. Every time someone finds a station faster, pays without stress, or a company stops wasting money on broken allowances that is our purpose in action.
We are not just building an app. We are building the infrastructure for how Africa accesses energy, one station at a time.
We are a focused team building technology that affects millions of Nigerians every day. Everyone owns something real. Every person can see their work in the product. Come build with us.
