So, you have nothing to worry about the government’s support.”

Bosun Tijani, the minister of communications, innovation and digital economy, said the investment would strengthen Nigeria’s market and build solutions in the technology sector of the country.“So, the government is putting its skin in the game to say ‘we want to support; we want to see more local confidence building’. And there’s no other way to show that than by putting money in some of the startups,” he said.
