FG Launches Startup Nigeria To Promote Agribusiness by gabzymedia: 2:42am On May 03, 2018
The Federal Government has launched Startup Nigeria, a three-month incubation program designed to support local entrepreneurs with great innovative ideas to create viable products, go to market and gain traction.

Startup Nigeria is an intervention of the National Social Investment Program (NSIP) under the Office of the Vice President as part of the program to support private sector innovation hubs for the strategic increase of entrepreneurial and technological capacity across Nigeria.

The programme is aimed at any individual/ start-up with an idea or a solution in agriculture and governance in the North-Central region and commerce/FinTech in the South-Eastern region. It will provide training, mentorship and equity free funding to selected startups, with a specially curated curriculum designed specifically to help idea and early stage entrepreneurs find their footing and grow in Nigeria’s socio-economic terrain. Startup Nigeria gives founders the needed leverage to excel.

The curriculum is designed to help idea and early-stage entrepreneurs find their footing and grow within Nigeria’s ultra-competitive socio-economic terrain.

Final deadline for application for the programme, which covers training, mentorship and equity-free funding to selected start-ups in two geo-political zones of the country, is 5 May.

The zones cover 12 states including FCT targeting 20 start-ups across four sectors. The states are FCT, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Abia and Ebonyi.

Start-ups that miss out on being selected for the incubation programme can still access support in business model generation, customer acquisition and other business engineering skills from Startup Nigeria representatives. Those at the idea stage can also apply to participate in a hackathon that could secure them entry into the incubation programme, while those with MVP – Minimum Viable Product – in listed sectors can apply directly.

Looks like a good initiative, just wondering how come it's two zones where the APC government ratings is at the lowest that the project is commencing now. Besides why wait till close to election time to start.

Scam, How did Youwin Connects 2017 end? Nigerian youths that apply spend time and their hard earned money to buy data in watching hours of training videos online and was told at the end that there is no fund to power their startup. What about BIG and YESP? Nothing

SCAM!!!
If this government is really serious about improving the agricultural sector of this nation, they would have found a swift and decisive solution to the Fulani herdsmen menace.


This Fulani herdsmen saga has made so many investors pull out of investing in agriculture. No investors confidence in this government to handle economic and social issues adequately.

Government should stop trying to put square pegs in round holes.

This program is a scam set up for campaign purpose and as a medium to siphon cash.

This program under the office of the vice president wants to focus on the SE and NC zones. NC that's been ravished by Fulani herdsmen and SE just for eye service. Smh.....

With the way things are going, there might be food shortage soon if this Fulani herdsmen menace is not properly put in check!
