Desayo comes from a modest background.
From humble beginnings, she fought her way to complete a degree at Howard University, Washington DC.
Desayo graduated from the school with Summa Cum Laude honours.
She has also worked hard to impact the world through a fusion of entrepreneurial and humanitarian initiatives.
This included investing in a detergent that fortifies clothes and turns them into a mosquito repellent to help prevent malaria.
She also set up a micro-investing firm, Trove.
Trove allows Nigerians to invest in U.S stocks from the comfort of their homes using their phones.
Desayo Ajisegiri follows in the footsteps of other young, brilliant and deserving Nigerian youth who received the scholarship.
