About this episode

The episode features an interview with Moses Babatunde, discussing the realities and misconceptions of HR in Nigeria.

In this episode of Made in Africa, I sit down with Moses Babatunde, popularly known as OgaHR—an HR consultant and founder of The African Work Summit. Moses started his corporate career in insurance sales. But a pivotal moment came back in his 300-level days during an interview where the panel told him he’d be exceptional in HR. That comment stayed with him, and years later his MD at AXA Mansard offered him an internship in the HR department—where he started with minimal HR tasks before fully transitioning into the field. We also dive deep into demystifying HR in Nigeria, from what HR truly does to the power dynamics between employers and employees. Moses breaks down the realities of the modern workplace, why many Nigerians misunderstand HR, and what both founders and talent need to get right. This is a must-listen for anyone navigating or building within the African workforce.
