Yesterday, we had the opportunity to meet with the @iDICEStartup Bridge team and Mr Fori Banu and his team from the @BOINigeria (BOI) at Plus Incubation Hub. @iDICE_Nigeria
A step forward for Nestora Health! 💗
On 18 October, we took our maternal and reproductive health platform to Okitipupa, Ondo State, for our community pilot.
30 women participated, and 25 tested our MVP, completed onboarding, and shared feedback.

We also had nurse-led health education, free BP and weight checks, and a demo of how Nestora supports women between hospital visits.
Thanks to the women who participated and to the @iDICEStartup Founders Lab for helping us grow.
Every founder is at a different stage of building.
Some are still refining an idea and trying to understand the problem they want to solve.
Others already have a product, users, and early market signals—but need to make better decisions about how to grow.
Those founders should not receive exactly the same support.
That is why iDICE Startup Bridge is structured around two distinct pathways.
Founders Lab is designed for idea-stage founders who need to move from concept to validation.
Growth Lab is designed for post-MVP founders who are focused on strengthening their businesses, preparing for investment, and exploring market expansion.
Different stages.
Different questions.
Different support.
One shared mission: helping more Nigerian founders build ventures that can create lasting economic and social impact.
Which stage best describes your journey today: Idea, MVP, or Growth?

Building Nestora Health has taught me that solving a problem I’ve experienced personally is only the beginning. You must listen to users,validate assumptions,and build a sustainable business.
Through the @iDICEStartup Founders Lab,we’re taking Nestora from MVP to pilot stage.
Another year, another testimony of God’s goodness. ❤️
Today, I’m grateful for the gift of life, the lessons, the growth, the answered prayers, and the strength to keep going even when life gets difficult.
Your digital presence should help you test assumptions, attract early adopters, collect feedback, and build trust—not just chase likes and views.
For Nestora Health, we're building, testing, listening, and improving based on real user needs.
Build. Test. Listen. Improve. Repeat
I’m putting the lessons from the @iDICEStartup programme and my mentors’ feedback into action with a Nestora outreach in Ondo State! 💚
We’ll listen to mothers, learn from them, and use their feedback to improve Nestora. @iDICE_Nigeria@BOINigeria
One key lesson from the @iDICEStartup programme and my mentor’s feedback: don’t just collect data from mothers. Listen to them, learn from their experiences, and use their feedback to shape your product. @iDICE_Nigeria
From understanding her body to making informed health choices, her health matters long before motherhood.
Happy International Day of the Girl Child.
Here’s to raising girls who know that their health, their voices, and their futures matter.
Today, we celebrate every girl and the woman she is becoming. 🤍
Every girl deserves the chance to grow up healthy, confident, informed, and supported with access to the care and information she needs at every stage of her journey.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the @UNDP Innovation Centre and share what I’m building with Nestora Health, the problem we’re solving, and the vision behind it.
It's #WorldMentalHealthDay
Nearly 1 in 7 people live with a #MentalHealth condition.
People with lived experience can help transform mental health care at every stage: from designing services to delivering and improving them.
By collaborating and working together, experts with lived experience, and people working in mental health systems, policy, and research can design care that is person-centred, rights-based and rooted in dignity.
Make community-based services stronger, support continuity of care and make every conversation count https://t.co/o4ibsedr2o
Bridging the gap between university education and the skills industry needs.
Through the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (iDICE) Programme, the Federal Government of Nigeria is taking concrete steps to strengthen university STEM curricula and better align graduate skills with the evolving needs of Nigeria’s digital and creative industries.
The engagement brought together the National Universities Commission (NUC), universities and industry leaders to assess existing curriculum coverage, identify priority skills gaps and propose areas for strengthening curriculum content and delivery.
The initiative is being delivered with technical support from Matine Consulting and @NOIPolls . iDICE is implemented and co-financed by the @BOINigeria (BOI), with co-financing from the @AfDB_Group (AfDB), @AFD_en (AFD) and the @IsDB_Abuja (IsDB).
