Hi!
Hope you're doing well and staying safe? Here are two quick updates from this week.
Nigeria Startup Bill Northwest Town Hall on Thursday
I am writing to cordially invite you to participate in a Townhall on the Nigeria StartUp Bill organized to get your input in the development process. The TownHall is a series of ongoing consultations with key actors across the states actively contributing to the development of Nigeria’s ecosystem. The TownHall will be centered around getting contributions towards the development of the final draft. The session is organized in consideration of the needs and interests of the diverse stakeholders within segments of the innovation ecosystem across states, to validate the provisions within the bill that relates to their role within the growth expectations of the ecosystem.
The Nigerian StartUp bill is a joint effort between the presidency and the ecosystem to co-create legislation that enables startups to thrive and actively contribute to national growth and development. The Nigerian StartUp Bill employs a “Big Tent” approach to the development of the draft bill. The Big tent approach refers to inclusive engagement of stakeholders at every level of participation in government and the ecosystem. The bill addresses 4 key issues that affect all segments of the ecosystem, which are:
- Regulation
- Capital
- Infrastructure
- Talent & Human Capacity Development
We recently concluded consultations with key MDA representatives of the government on the first draft of the bill and are now initiating consultations with state representatives and key stakeholder groups within the ecosystem across Nigeria.
.
We recognize your role as an active player within the stakeholder group in your state’s ecosystem and consider it pertinent to get your contribution to the first draft of the bill for validation and revision. The TownHall is organized regionally across the 6 geo-political zones and your North-West is scheduled with the details outlined below:
