First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, wife of Nigeria’s Vice President, has inaugurated a new startup hub in Abuja, according to multiple reports. The hub, which boasts a reported investment of $10.4 million, is part of the Presidential Business Action Team (PBAT) Door-to-Door Movement’s initiatives. However, details about the hub’s specific focus, capacity, and timeline for operations remain unclear. The new startup hub is expected to bolster Nigeria’s tech ecosystem, especially in the nation’s capital. This development comes as part of a broader effort to support entrepreneurship and innovation across the country.
According to the Western Post, the hub’s inauguration took place on October 23rd, but no details have been released about when the facility began operating. The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement has not commented on the specifics of the startup hub.
This news follows First Lady Tinubu’s visit to the University of Abuja where she launched the ‘Women Empowerment through Agriculture’ (WEA) program. The program aims to equip women with skills and resources to improve their livelihoods through agriculture. This latest initiative indicates the First Lady’s commitment to supporting various sectors, from technology to agriculture, in Nigeria.
