Apostle Mabrig Korie is a Nigerian researcher, author, and platform innovator whose work sits at the intersection of leadership theory, faith-based entrepreneurship, knowledge production, and research infrastructure in Africa.

As the founder of AfriGrantPipeline, he has pioneered a new model for African research ecosystems โ€” one that centers independent scholars, faith-based innovators, and non-institutional researchers who are systematically excluded from mainstream academic funding and publishing networks.

"The African researcher does not lack intelligence, vision, or capacity. What has been suppressed is access โ€” access to funding, platforms, networks, and the language of institutional power. AfriGrantPipeline is the infrastructure to end that suppression."

โ€” Apostle Mabrig Korie, Founder of AfriGrantPipeline
