The Startup Consultative Forum (SCF) has successfully concluded its election process, leading to the emergence of four representatives who will serve on the National Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship (NCDIE).
The newly elected representatives are Iyinoluwa Aboyeji from the South West, Charles Uchenna Emembolu from the South East, Abba Ibrahim Gamawa from the North East, and Victoria Ojoagefu Manya from the North Central.
These individuals will represent the voices of startup founders and innovators from across the country, ensuring that grassroots innovators, digital entrepreneurs, and technology leaders play an active role in shaping policies and strategies that directly impact the growth of the Nigerian startup ecosystem.
The election process was coordinated by the Office for Nigerian Digital Innovation (ONDI) under the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), in compliance with the provisions of the Nigeria Startup Act (NSA). The SCF members from all six geopolitical zones nominated and voted for candidates to represent their zones in a transparent and inclusive process.
The National Council for Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship is the principal body mandated to drive the effective implementation of the NSA, formulating policies, coordinating strategic initiatives, and providing oversight that supports the establishment and scaling of innovation-driven enterprises in Nigeria. The inclusion of democratically elected representatives from the startup community is a landmark achievement for inclusive governance.
This development is expected to enhance trust between the government and the digital innovation community, improve the feedback process on policies, and foster a more supportive environment for young entrepreneurs to thrive.
The National Information Technology Development Agency reaffirms its commitment to building a thriving digital economy, nurturing startups, and fostering collaboration that ensures innovation becomes a cornerstone of national development.
