Nigerian entrepreneur living her dream in Hainan

HAIKOU: What can one achieve in eight years? Joy Nkiru Ikpeoha from Nigeria obtained both bachelor’s and master’s degrees and set up a company during this time.

Ikpeoha, born in 1992, first came to the island province of Hainan in south China in 2015 to study Chinese language at Hainan University. Four years later, she extended her academic pursuit, eventually gaining a master’s degree in enterprise management in 2022.

Her entrepreneurial journey began this year when she established a company in the provincial capital of Haikou, aiming to provide a quick and effective service platform for foreign talents of all types.

“My company is about helping foreign talents in Haikou or Hainan to set up their own businesses, and kind of feel at home here in Hainan,” Ikpeoha explained. –Agencies
