“Innovation creates value, and value attracts capital.”
This is our belief at the Ministry of Agriculture & Food Systems @lagosagric01 and our kick off of the Lagos Agrithon 2026 underscores this.
Under our Governor’s Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s vision for young food enterprises, agrinnovators this year have a chance to get a grant in the N200million pool.

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.
What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.
@Naija_PR Well, this is not totally true. The wealthiest people also have multiple streams of income. The best way to maintain wealth is through diversification.
Though, I agree you can't build your way to wealth without first focusing on a primary source.
For f*ck sake. Be optimistic. Be extreme. Be relentless. The world is waiting for you to raise the bar and finally go all in. Execute. Inspire. Show us what’s possible.
Dear Agritech builders, in Africa, our rural farmers don’t need a platform they can upload farm produces to sell.
No, don’t build such platform. Funders love it, but it doesn’t solve any real problem.
Do this instead.
Buy a brand new truck, go to Sokoto, buy fresh onions from Northern Nigeria, and resell to Eastern Nigeria.
By doing this, you’ll solve real problem “Post-harvest Loss” in Africa.
Or
Build a simple ventilated warehouse that can preserve ginger and onions in its fresh state for 12 months above.
Let’s not follow our old politicians with audio solutions.
Build a physical cassava processing factory to help reduce wastage.
Build a physical soybean oil processing factory.
Build a physical hibiscus wine processing plant in Nigeria.
Delete that useless app and build something real, please😁
This is Africa.
