Nigeria has moved a step closer to rolling out its landmark Nigeria Startup Bill (NSB) that will further deepen the country\u2019s technology ecosystem and enable a sector on the cusp of exponential growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Presidency and leaders of the Nigerian technology industry have worked on the bill which has now been approved by the Federal Executive Council and is being sent to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bill, approved on Wednesday 15, December 2021, will ensure regulatory support as Nigeria continues to attract hundreds of millions of dollars of international investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSB will create an enabling environment for Nigerian startups to thrive, and the legislation addresses challenges such as disruptive regulation, weak infrastructure, and difficulties accessing capital, particularly for non-fintech businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill has come about through a Big Tent Approach – close collaboration between the Presidency, the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, the Nigerian Export and Promotion Council, and wider government bodies with almost 300 volunteers and private sector players participating. This includes venture capital investors like Future Africa and Ventures Platform, legal firms TLP Advisory and Aelex, policy advisors Advocacy for Policy And Innovation (API) and Innovation for Policy Foundation, and media organizations, TechCabal and Wimbart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Nigeria and the UK-Government, through the West Africa Research and Innovation Hub and the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub, are also backing the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praising the Big Tent Approach, Adaeze Sokan, Country Director at the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub said \u201cthe inclusive and collaborative process is laudable and can serve as a framework for policy formulation in the country.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Nigeria Startup Bill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NSB aims to provide a platform where startups can continuously engage regulators. Its key objectives include regulatory certainty, local content, and providing an enabling business environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nigeria<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There will be more support for local angel investors, funds, and incubators, alongside national co-investment schemes and incentives for investing in early-stage startups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a policy designed to reduce currency constraints will have broad-reaching impacts on the ability of startups to raise and expand internationally. In terms of infrastructure, the bill will lead to tech parks, subsidized local data facilities, better broadband connectivity, and open-source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSB to boost Nigeria\u2019s business friendliness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite having the highest number of startups on the continent, currently estimated at 750, Nigeria ranks below countries like South Africa, Kenya, and Tunisia in terms of business friendliness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Kenya<\/a> and Tunisia<\/a> have passed their Startup Bills into law and South Africa is in the process of passing theirs, the results of boosting business friendliness will be significant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an already flourishing, world-renowned tech ecosystem in place, a more robust macro environment will enable Nigerian startups to further their missions, power the economy, create more good jobs, and propel the country\u2019s development in a globally competitive context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nigeria<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Breeding unicorns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In just two decades Nigeria has fostered two indigenous unicorns (companies valued at over $1billion), despite the country\u2019s infrastructure and regulation not keeping up with the pace of disruption by the tech sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigeria has also served as the key market for five of the continent\u2019s unicorns (Interswitch, Andela, Jumia, OPay, and Flutterwave) and is the giant of African tech in terms of the country\u2019s ability to attract investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2016 and 2020, Nigerian startups were the most funded on the continent, raising $1.58 billion in venture capital and representing 27% of the overall deal volume, closely followed by Kenya. The NSB is expected to accelerate this progress and lead to many more Nigerian unicorns in years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NSB is one among a series of key activities the Presidency is using to drive the building of a more sustainable ecosystem for young people in Nigeria to thrive and scale,\u201d<\/em> said Oswald Osaretin Guobadia, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital Transformation and the NSB Lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fostering new talent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Securing jobs for Nigeria\u2019s youthful population is a key challenge for the government, and the NSB is aimed directly at fostering new talent in the growing technology and startup sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By providing for regulation around startup registration, tax incentives, talent development, university-industry collaboration, and increased public tech procurement, the NSB will ease barriers to entrepreneurship and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kola Aina, Founder and General Partner of Ventures Platform Fund, added, \u201cthe bill is being proposed to provide an enabling environment for the growth of startups and guard against different challenges faced by startups such as seemingly disruptive regulations, lack of regulatory certainty and weak infrastructure like broadband, open data, and digital platforms that limit the optimization of the many benefits of the digital economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill serves as common ground for the tech community and regulators, enabling founders to build with more confidence while providing regulators with the tools to ensure that consumers are adequately protected. This will, in turn, benefit the Nigerian economy at large and appease stakeholders involved in animosity in recent times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
