Three Nigerians and a South African have been picked to act as board of Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin Trust Fund. A fund set aside for the development of Africa and Asia.

Jack Dorsey went on Twitter to release the names of the members of the BTrust board, 3 of whom are Nigerians; Abubakar Nur Khalil, Obi Nwosu and Ojoma Ochai – the South African in the board is Carla Kirk-Cohen. 

The board members were selected from a total of 7,000 applicants.

Obi Nwosu is the Co-founder of Coinfloor – A cryptocurrency start-up that raised $3000,000 in funding.

Ojoma Ochai is a Managing Partner at Co-Creation HUB – a technology innovation workspace in Nigeria that was able to raise $5.5m to aid its operations.
