Nigeria’s tech ecosystem has experienced an unprecedented surge over the last decade. Cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt have become fertile grounds for startups, attracting both local and international investors. Fintech, in particular, has emerged as a dominant force, with companies like Paystack, Flutterwave, and Interswitch revolutionizing digital payments and financial inclusion.

Beyond fintech, sectors like agritech, healthtech, and ecommerce are witnessing rapid growth. Agritech startups, for instance, leverage technology to solve supply chain issues, helping farmers get fair prices while reducing post-harvest losses. 

Nigerian entrepreneurs are not just innovating for the local market; they are building solutions with global potential, positioning Nigeria as a key player in Africa’s digital transformation.

Government support, venture capital inflows, and a young, tech-savvy population are driving this ecosystem. Challenges like inconsistent power supply, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure gaps exist, but Nigerian startups continue to find creative solutions, proving resilience and ingenuity. The future of tech in Nigeria is not just promising, it is shaping the continent’s economic narrative.
