30 years ago today, my wife started a secondary school, The Vale College, Ibadan. Actually commencement wasn’t till November 7 that year, but she designated June 2, the birthday of her late brother, the Founders’ Day. She started off with 13 students, including my twin nephews.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yesssss💃💃💃💃 My team came second in Imo State Tech4Good Hackathon. I can’t thank @bosuntijani enough for this amazing opportunity. @ifeanyireed My Training Provider, I am entirely grateful for your unwavering support. @ndubuisi_audrey and @WisGift, this is just the beginning.

After today’s Federal Executive Council meetings, we have secured 2 approvals that offer significant opportunities for Nigerians in general, but also specifically for our digital startup ecosystem. The first is the launch of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that will support the delivery of an additional 90,000km of fibre optic cable to complement our existing connectivity infrastructure and deliver a stronger national backbone for universal access to the internet across Nigeria. Over the last few months, we have put in extensive groundwork to set up this SPV which will be modelled in governance and operations similarly to some of the best Public-Private Partnership setups in Nigeria, such as NIBSS and NLNG. Working with partners and stakeholders from the government and private sector, this SPV will build the additional fibre optic coverage required to take Nigeria’s connectivity backbone to a minimum of 125,000km, from the current coverage of about 35,000km. Upon delivery, this will become Africa’s 3rd longest terrestial fibre optic backbone, after Egypt and South Africa. This extensive coverage will enable us optimise the unique benefit of having 8 submarine cables already landed in Nigeria and therefore drive an uptake of the data capacity that the cables offer, beyond the current usage level of 10%. Building on our existing work with the Broadband Alliance, this increased connectivity will help plug the current non-consumption gap by connecting over 200,000 educational, healthcare and social institutions across Nigeria, ensuring that a larger section of our society can be included in the benefits of internet connectivity. Some of these immediate benefits include: 1. Increasing internet penetration in Nigeria to over 70% 2. Potential reduction of the cost of access to internet by over 60% 3. Inclusion of at least 50% of the 33 million Nigerians currently excluded from access to the internet 4. Delivering up to 1.5% of GDP growth per capita raising GDP from $472.6 billion (2022) to $502 billion over the next 4 year #NigerianExcellence

Another development from FEC today, which sits firmly in our desire as a Ministry to position Nigeria as a significant player in the global technology landscape, is the approval for the conversion of an existing property of the Federal Government in San Francisco, USA to a Nigerian Digital Technology Exchange Programme Hub (Nigeria Startup House). As we work towards achieving key elements of our Trade and IEC Strategic Blueprint Pillars, the Nigerian Startup House will play a critical role in promoting Nigeria’s economic interest, attracting Foreign Direct Investment and improving the visibility and positioning of Nigeria’s Startup Ecosystem to attract funding and expertise from global markets and organisations represented in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The San Francisco Bay Area, and nearby Silicon Valley, is recognised globally as a major source of startup ecosystem funding, with a combined GDP value of just over $929 billion and is home to over 200 of the largest companies in the world by revenue. In addition, most of the $1.3 billion funding sourced by Nigerian technology startups in 2023 alone came from Venture Capital funds in the Bay Area. While the ownership of the Nigeria Startup House will remain with the Federal Government, represented by the @FMCIDENigeria and @NigeriaMFA, it will be managed by a consortium of Nigerian digital technology companies who will provide non-public funding for the operations of the Startup House. #NigerianExcellence

Did you know that "pizza" could hold the key to launching a successful EdTech startup? Uncover the secrets behind the "Pizza Rule" and other crucial insights in our latest video featuring @mosama271 & @joboyebisi.

A few months ago, I was in my village speaking to some young people about how to support them. One of the issues I realized was that many of their schools did not have enough teachers and so some of them had basically nobody to teach certain subjects.

Yet we criticize @bosuntijani for trying to bridge the gap. I don't get it. Sigh!

Well done, Hauwa.

What changed today: the simple version. There is no reason to use the free version of ChatGPT anymore. That uses GPT-3.5 and is outclassed by Bard (as of today) and Claude, both of which are free. But you should probably be using GPT-4, which is still dominant & is free in Bing
