On Thursday, we had an amazing @solana Ecosystem call in delta state and Our amazing community members showed up.
We had insightful conversations around the opportunities within the Solana ecosystem from building scalable Products, to exploring the ICM( Internet Capital markets), real world products that can drive adoption across Nigeria and beyond. What stood out the most was the willingness to learn and collaborate by community members.
Another unique highlight of the call was when @airbillspay got featured. It's truly a testament that anything is possible on Solana.
Special shout out to our host @YouKnowEno and Simon for hosting the call.
A round up of major changes and additions that has happened on the @solana Developer Ecosystem in 2mins its short but if you want a more detailed one with pratical examples dont miss our @SuperteamNG Developer’s call on Sunday.

One of the most common questions we get from founders in the SuperteamNG community is:
“We’ve built the product. How do we get users?”
‘GTM School’ is our attempt to answer that question.
Whether you’re building a fintech, consumer app, AI product, infrastructure tool, or onchain application, understanding growth is no longer optional.

Today, we officially launched the Youth in Agribusiness Land Trust Fund (YiALTF), a major initiative of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development @fmydNG aimed at connecting young Nigerians with opportunities in agriculture, agribusiness, and economic growth. This programme is not just about land, it is about jobs, food security, entrepreneurship, and building a stronger future for Nigerian youth.
Through this initiative, we will transform Youth Development Centres across the country into agriculture hubs that will provide training, mentorship, technology, business support, and access to markets. Our goal is to train 6 million young Nigerians within the next three years and support at least 500,000 youth-led agribusinesses across the value chain. We also used the opportunity of today’s launch to provide financial support to selected young agripreneurs as part of our commitment to empowering youth-led agricultural enterprises.
I appreciate our partners including IITA, FCMB, First Bank, FAO, Bank of Agriculture, development partners, financial institutions, and private sector stakeholders for believing in the potential of Nigerian youth. Together, we are creating pathways for young people to contribute meaningfully to national development in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

What did we miss, and what are you shipping this week?
Solana’s dominance in Africa >>>
Over 83% of Evolution’s $2.67m volume in May happened on Solana.
That mirrors what we continue to see across Africa.
From payments and remittances to stablecoins, prediction markets, savings products, wallets, and consumer apps, Solana is becoming the default chain for builders and users alike.
Africa remains one of the most consumer-driven crypto markets in the world, and consumer products tend to gravitate toward networks that are fast, reliable, and inexpensive to use at scale. That reality continues to work in Solana’s favor.
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026
Protocols,
Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,
It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.
I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.
Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.
Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.
UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.
Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.
We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.
INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.
Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.
We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.
I had a wonderful time hosting the @SuperteamNG Delta ecosystem call on Thursday.
We discussed the concept of Internet Capital Market, how @solana is leading it, and how individuals can make the most of it.
It was also a great opportunity to see the community members in person and connect.
The person receiving the money never knows it's crypto.
Your landlord gets dong via VietQR. Your family gets naira via bank transfer.
They don't need a wallet. They don't need to know what Solana is. They just get paid.
That's the point.
