Death of Bissiriou Radji, leading figure in the Ivorian digital sector and winner of the 2019 ADICOMAWARDS

Bissiriou Radji passed away suddenly on October 22.

At Adicomdays 2019, seven young talents were recognized for their creativity in the digital sphere. Among these rising stars was Bissiriou Radji, an Ivorian influencer who won the Tech Award sponsored by Orange Côte d'Ivoire.

Passionate about technology, Bissiriou Radji was one of a group of talented content creators from Côte d'Ivoire. He was also one of the founders of Studio Bazar, a creative studio dedicated to designing videos and writing custom scripts for brands, institutions, influencers, and individuals. He collaborated with TV5Monde on Afrique & Pop, a web show about African pop culture hosted by Paola Audrey Ndengue.

Bissiriou also created SNAP, a young, committed, open, dynamic, and above all social media platform designed as a forum for everyone to have their say.  From anecdotes to social causes, through committed speeches and the promotion of projects, SNAP gave visibility to the younger generation and highlighted the initiatives that are multiplying across the continent.

A leading figure in the digital world, Bissiriou was also passionate about magic.

This is a great loss for Côte d'Ivoire.
