The journey has officially begun.

Welcome to the iHatch Cohort 5 Startup Incubation Programme.

Across Nigeria, founders are taking the first steps on a journey of learning, collaboration, and innovation, equipping themselves to solve real problems and build solutions that matter.

Here’s a glimpse into the journey so far. The best is yet to come.

I have today signed the NIMC Act 2026 into law.

For nearly twenty years, Nigeria’s identity system operated under a law written for a different era. That era is over.

This new Act gives our nation a modern, secure and digital identity framework fit for the Nigeria we are building, a Nigeria on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.

[Dr Vincent Olatunji @Volatunji1]

I had the pleasure of leading a delegation from the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) on a courtesy visit to the Managing Director of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX), Mr Anthony Atuche.

In my remarks, I expressed my appreciation for the warm reception and highlighted the strategic role of the NCX in driving Nigeria’s economic growth. As commodity exchanges increasingly rely on personal data to facilitate transactions and build market confidence, robust data protection has become indispensable for fostering trust, attracting investment, and safeguarding organisations against evolving cyber threats.

Investors across the globe are more confident in jurisdictions where personal data is adequately protected: this aligns with the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR to create a seamless and investor-friendly business environment in Nigeria.

During our discussions, I emphasised the importance of compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), 2023, and provided guidance on practical steps towards achieving compliance. To support the NCX on this journey, the NDPC offered free induction training and Virtual Privacy Academy (VPA) vouchers for members of staff to deepen their understanding of data protection and privacy best practices.

I was encouraged by Mr Atuche’s commitment to strengthening data protection within the NCX. He noted that the Exchange is a data-driven organisation that handles sensitive personal information, including BVN, NIN, and CAC-related data, as part of its operations and ongoing innovation efforts. His commitment to investing in staff capacity and embedding privacy across the exchange ecosystem is commendable.

As a significant outcome of the visit, the NDPC and NCX have established a joint working group to develop actionable plans that will strengthen data protection compliance and enhance trust within Nigeria’s commodity exchange ecosystem.

[Dr Vincent Olatunji @Volatunji1]

I am pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).

This partnership marks another important milestone in our collective efforts to deepen data protection and privacy in Nigeria, while strengthening trust in the digital economy in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

At the NDPC, we recognise that collaboration among regulators is critical to building a resilient and privacy-conscious ecosystem. The mandates of both the NDPC and the NBC cut across all sectors, making this partnership both timely and strategic.

I want to commend the Director-General/CEO of the NBC, Mr Charles Ebuebu, for his commitment to inter-agency collaboration and for his proactive approach towards advancing responsible data governance within the broadcasting ecosystem.

As technology continues to shape the media and broadcasting landscape, data remains central to innovation, regulation, and public trust. Through this MoU, we will work together to promote global best practices, strengthen institutional capacity, and ensure that privacy and data protection remain at the forefront of Nigeria’s digital transformation.

A joint working group has also been established to drive the effective implementation of the MoU.

PRESS RELEASE

7 May 2026

FG UNVEILS $500 MILLION ANNUAL RESEARCH FUND TO DRIVE NIGERIA’S KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

The Federal Government has approved the establishment of the National Research and Innovation Development Fund (NRIDF), a major initiative aimed at transforming Nigeria into a globally competitive, innovation-driven economy through sustained investment in research, science, and technology.

The approval was announced by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, following the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.

Describing the initiative as a “game changer,” the Minister explained that the Fund will address fragmentation in Nigeria’s research ecosystem by creating a coordinated framework linking universities, research institutes, industry, and government to national development priorities.

Dr. Alausa disclosed that the Federal Government plans to provide annual funding of up to $500 million, making the NRIDF one of Nigeria’s most ambitious investments in research and innovation.

The Fund will support competitive research grants, strengthen innovation infrastructure, promote commercialisation of research findings, and accelerate human capital development in science and technology.

The NRIDF will operate under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, with oversight provided by a 17-member National Council on Research and Innovation chaired by the Vice President.

The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to innovation-led growth, economic diversification, and job creation through sustained investment in research and development.

Watch clearly. Sowore was first shot with a bullet and afterwards a canister to make it look like he was just teargassed. This is clear act of assassination!
