    THE National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA, says it will begin its Startup Consultative Forum on Monday, aimed at nominating members for a Startup Council to strengthen Nigeria’s startup ecosystem.

    Hadiza Umar, Director of Corporate Communications and Media Relations at NITDA, made the announcement in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.

    According to Mrs Umar, the inaugural consultative forum represents a major milestone in deepening stakeholder engagement within Nigeria’s rapidly evolving startup landscape.

    “The forum will serve as an interactive platform for startup founders, innovators, ecosystem enablers, and intermediaries to contribute meaningfully to national policies that foster growth, attract investment, and drive digital innovation,” she said.

    She added that the initiative, convened under the framework of the Nigeria Startup Act, NSA, reflected the Federal Government’s commitment to positioning startups as vital contributors to building an innovation-friendly environment.

    The NSA was signed into law on Oct. 19, 2022, to create a legal and institutional framework for the development of startups in Nigeria.

    The Act provides for the establishment of the National Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship, aimed at creating an enabling environment for technology-driven startups.

    It also introduces incentives and programmes such as a startup seed fund and streamlined registration processes. Implementation of the law is being led by NITDA in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
