I repeat, No tech survives on innovation alone. Policy is its Backbone EDTECH needs privacy & digital learning rules. FINTECH relies on payment, lending, crypto & KYC regs.

The National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System will stand alongside Project BRIDGE, our 90,000km fibre infrastructure programme; NUCAP, which will connect over 20 million Nigerians through 3,700 telecommunications towers; the Nigeria Data Exchange; and our efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s AI ecosystem as one of the top five among many defining legacy initiatives of this administration that we have worked on over the last three years. That is why I was pleased to join the Postmaster General/CEO of @NipostNgn, @tola_odeyemi, and stakeholders from across our security agencies for a workshop focused on the practical application of the digital postcode as a critical layer for security coordination and emergency response across Nigeria. The Postcode System will assign every location in the country a unique, machine-readable, and geographically anchored digital address. Beyond improving mail delivery, it will strengthen emergency response, enhance national security operations, improve address verification, support more efficient logistics and e-commerce, and enable more effective delivery of public services. As we continue to build the digital foundations of our economy, it is important that every person, business, and location can be accurately identified and connected within a modern digital ecosystem. We will continue engaging other stakeholder groups over the coming months, and I look forward to the official launch of the postcode system in October and to seeing the transformative impact it will have across our economy and society. #NigerianExcellence

@bosuntijani @teewai_toyin They say AI runs on data, but ecosystems run on trust. Good to see Nigeria investing in both ☺️

It was a pleasure to meet with @teewai_toyin, Director, Africa for Luminate, to discuss the growing intersection between the AI Collective and our efforts to establish Nigeria’s National AI Trust. Luminate has been a valued partner throughout our AI journey in Nigeria, from supporting the development of our National AI Strategy, to funding the AI Collective and supporting our ambition to build a responsible, inclusive, and globally competitive AI ecosystem in Nigeria. I am particularly grateful for Toyin’s quiet, consistent, and thoughtful support over the years. As we continue to strengthen the foundations for AI innovation, talent development, and governance in Nigeria, partnerships like these remain critical to translating vision into lasting impact. #NigerianExcellence

What Language Did You Use for Your First "Hello World"?

@Ayomatt @comfort_prima Count me in

@comfort_prima This is nice. Connect and grow with innovation

One thing I want more of this year is genuine connections with developers. If you’re in tech and currently building on X, let’s connect 🤝

@comfort_prima @whakee_ Interested fb

@whakee_ Hi Yes I’m interested

@kogi_empire @comfort_prima Count me in

@comfort_prima How about turning tech ecosystem into visible investment assets that compounds over time?? We can start building physical huge businesses to satisfy human wants around the world. Who’s in? Let’s brainstorm ideas🥹

Connecting with founders, enterprise executives, and policy stakeholders scaling compliant infrastructure in Africa. True growth happens when we map product code to national frameworks. Great to sync with fellow system architects driving the digital economy. #StartupAct #Tech

I’ve officially started my tech journey.🚀 Just kicked off a tech course at TS Academy as UI/UX designer and it’s been nothing but excitement and knowledge from day the orientation. Every lesson stretched me to be eager to learn and I'm glad to journey w with you guys.

@Ajimojuowo96633 @designwithdola @thatboy_essence How do I get link to register?

@Michael24928959 @Ghostbud174449 Fb

@Ghostbud174449 Let's go

🚀 Day 2 of #30DaysOfTech Today's the day. In an hour, I'll be attending my very first Cybersecurity class at TS Academy, and honestly, it still feels a little unreal. A few months ago, I was just someone interested in tech and wondering where to start.

@NITDANigeria @SenRemiTinubu Overall, we would put in the work

In a major effort to advance digital literacy and expand technological access in rural Nigeria, the First Lady, @SenRemiTinubu, officially commissioned and handed over a new Community IT Centre in Ihugh, Vandeikya Local Government Area of Benue State. She described the facility as a major step toward bridging the digital divide and expanding access to opportunities through technology.

@NITDANigeria @SenRemiTinubu Thank you for preaching tech. Launching the facility is an excellent baseline; now local ecosystem players must deploy the operational backend: consistent electricity loops, dedicated fiber links, and high-quality product management training to build production-ready talent.

@FMCIDENigeria Happy Democracy Day. Followed. Let’s connect. Follow back for rapid updates whenever the Central Bank or NITDA changes guidelines for digital wallets or apps. Thanks!

As we commemorate Democracy Day, we celebrate Nigeria’s progress and reaffirm our Ministry’s commitment to leveraging technology and innovation to expand inclusion, unlock opportunities, and support sustainable national development. Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria!

@UzoamakaIbez Blessed week

It’s Monday. Start your week with gratitude. You may not know what this week holds, but you know the one who holds your future. As for me, I’m passionate about helping busy entrepreneurs stay organized, productive, and focused on growth through AI-powered virtual assistance.

Policy isn't boring paperwork of course when used right, it protects your startup and returns. Are you 100% sure your current onboarding flow isn't exposing your bank balance to massive data fines? Check my bio and DM for a free, 15-minute Data Risk Check call this week. 🛡️

The good news? You don't need any broken government website to fix this risk. Data privacy is solved internally. You fix it by configuring your onboarding code and server database to match the rules before an official ever knocks.

🛑 STOP COPYING PRIVACY POLICIES FROM GOOGLE. It is a massive trap for your startup. #NigeriaTech
