Nigeria’s technology ecosystem continues to soar, as tech startups across the country raised over $400 million in 2024 alone, according to the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
This impressive achievement is being credited to the enabling environment fostered under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose Renewed Hope Agenda prioritizes digital innovation, youth-driven enterprise, and global tech competitiveness.
The Director General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa, revealed this during a recent media briefing, noting that Nigeria remains Africa’s leading destination for startup investment, thanks to forward-thinking policies, improved broadband penetration, targeted government support, and increasing investor confidence.
From fintech to healthtech, agritech, and logistics, Nigerian innovators are attracting global capital and creating jobs, aligning with President Tinubu’s vision of a digitally empowered economy driven by local talent and innovation.
