The Federal Government has introduced a platform for Nigerian youth to apply for funding totaling $617 million, as revealed by the Bank of Industry (BOI) in a statement on Monday. This initiative is geared towards nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation within Nigeria’s digital technology and creative sectors, addressing challenges like limited access to capital and ecosystem support for startups.
The program aims to assist Nigerian youth with up-skilling, startup financing, vital infrastructure, and advocacy for supportive policies. Those interested can sign up through the provided link and take part in an upcoming event where BOI and iDICE stakeholders will convene to discuss and collaborate.
