As part of the Federal Government’s agenda to diversify the economy and create jobs by stimulating the tech start-up space, President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will be hosting the Aso Villa Demo Day 2016 (AVDD2016); an initiative of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria set to celebrate the best of Nigerian technology, creativity and entrepreneurship,as well as showcase Nigeria’s innovative spirit to a global audience. The event scheduled to hold on June 23, 2016 in Lagos and July 28, 2016 in Abuja brings together the brightest start-ups from across the country as they pitch to an audience of Venture Capitalists, Angel Investors, key decision makers and other influential businesspersons.

AVDD2016 is the first part of a series of events to inspire a movement that will lead to diversification within the Nigerian economy, leveraging on homemade emerging technologies to drive sectors such as agriculture, food, housing, healthcare, and transportation etc.

This has become imperative as the Nigerian economy transitions from decades of oil dependence. The government increasingly realises the role of varied innovation in helping our government, and country, run more efficiently, building a more resilient economic base and inclusive entrepreneurship.

Interested persons or teams with grand ideas and prototypes, as well as investors seeking the next opportunity can be a part of this to contribute in writing the next chapter of Nigeria’s economic revolution, as this event presents the rare opportunity of partnering with the Presidency in driving the innovation agenda and setting the stage for the creation of what would become Africa’s future.

I need to reread Animal Farm by George Orwell

No investor would invest in a country in crisis. Nigeria cannot move forward until our internal problems are solved. these problems Include political instability, religious brain washing, hatred, wickedness, poverty, corruption, tribalism, favouritism etc

Children of hate will never see any good in this administration.

Good thing to do
