The Federal Government on Tuesday launched the Startup
Support and Engagement Portal, which is a key requirement for the
implementation of the Nigeria Startup Act.
The launch was announced by the Minister of Communications
Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, on his X account.
He wrote, “The startup portal will drive the identification
and aggregation of Nigerian startups, venture capital companies, hubs and
innovation centres in order to facilitate engagement and support for ecosystem
players.”
“The launch of the portal will allow us initiate the process of setting up the startup consultative forums to select representatives to the National Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship, in order to facilitate discourse and consensus among Nigerian ecosystem players.”
He, however, invited all Nigerian startups, venture capital
companies, hubs and innovation centres to register.
The National Information Technology Development Agency also
urged all Nigerian startups, VCs, angels, hubs, and innovation centres to visit
the portal, register, and explore the resources available to them.
