NUCAP is here. Another major step towards connecting every Nigerian.
Starting with the commissioning of our first site in Bende, Abia State, NUCAP will deliver 3,700 telecommunications towers across Nigeria, connecting close to 20 million Nigerians currently without access.
For the farmer unable to reach a buyer, the trader unable to receive a payment, or the family unable to call for help, connectivity opens up possibilities too long denied.
President @officialABAT’s ambition for a $1 trillion economy requires every Nigerian to have the opportunity to contribute and share in its prosperity. That is why this investment matters.
With NUCAP, no community will be left behind.

Promise made. Promise kept.

Congrats to Minister @bosuntijani on the launch of the Nigeria AI scaling hub. I particularly like that it's domiciled at @LBSNigeria. Our local academic institutions must be part of initiatives; it's how we institutionalise progress.

Today, through the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub (NAISH), we announced Nigeria's national shared compute infrastructure hosted by @Galaxybackbone and backed by the @gatesfoundation. Access to compute has become one of the defining constraints to AI innovation globally, so by creating shared national infrastructure, we can significantly reduce the barriers facing researchers, startups and public institutions, enabling them to build world-class AI solutions here in Nigeria.
The Nigeria AI Scaling Hub (NAISH) is a national platform established to accelerate the adoption and scaling of Artificial Intelligence across Nigeria by connecting innovators, researchers, startups, government, academia and development partners. It provides the infrastructure, partnerships and support needed to move proven AI solutions from pilot to large-scale deployment, while expanding access to critical resources such as shared compute, strengthening collaboration across the ecosystem, and enabling AI innovation to address national priorities and compete globally.
The launch of the Hub also marks the commencement of the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge, a practical initiative that will connect government institutions with Nigerian AI startups to solve real public sector challenges.
My sincere appreciation to the @gatesfoundation, @LBSNigeria, @Galaxybackbone and every partner helping to build an AI ecosystem that is open, inclusive and capable of delivering meaningful impact for Nigerians.
Applications for the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge are now open. If you are building proven AI solutions that can improve public service delivery, I encourage you to apply at naish.lbs.edu.ng.

AI innovation is no longer the challenge. Scaling it is.
Across Nigeria and Africa, brilliant AI solutions are being developed every day. The bigger question is: how do we move these innovations beyond pilot projects and into the hands of millions of people who need them most?
That conversation takes centre stage at the Official Launch of the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub (NAISH) and the unveiling of the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge.
As an ecosystem partner, Data Science Nigeria (@dsn_ai_network ) is proud to join government leaders, innovators, researchers, development partners, academia, and private sector stakeholders to shape the future of responsible AI adoption in Nigeria.
Established through a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy (@FMCIDENigeria) and Lagos Business School (@LBSNigeria) , NAISH is designed to accelerate the journey from innovation to impact. Over the next three years, the hub will support the scaling of AI solutions across critical sectors including health, agriculture, education, financial services, and public service delivery.
Date: Friday, 26 June 2026
Time: 9:30 AM (WAT)
Venue: Abuja Continental Hotel, Wuse, Abuja
Join our team, Ahmad Ibrahim Ismail (@dauntless_Rx) (AI + Digital Public Infrastructure lead) and Uyi Okundaye (Digital latforms & Stakeholder Management Lead) as we explore how partnerships, policy, innovation, and capacity building can unlock the full potential of AI for national development.

Today marked a defining moment in Nigeria's AI journey as government, industry, academia, development partners, and innovators gathered for the official launch of the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub (NAISH) and the unveiling of the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge at Abuja Continental Hotel.
Across Nigeria and Africa, groundbreaking AI solutions are being developed every day. The challenge is no longer whether we can build AI, but how we can scale proven innovations beyond pilot projects to create meaningful impact for millions of people.
This is the vision behind the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub (NAISH), a national initiative established through a collaboration between the @FMCIDENigeria and @LBSNigeria, with support from the @gatesfoundation . The Hub is designed to strengthen Nigeria's AI ecosystem by providing the infrastructure, partnerships, and enabling environment needed to move AI solutions from innovation to nationwide impact.
One of the landmark announcements came from @ydavidwest, who revealed that NAISH will be procuring eight NVIDIA H200 GPU compute nodes. The infrastructure will be hosted by @Galaxybackbone at its Tier III Data Centre in Abuja, with disaster recovery support at its Tier IV facility in Kano. She also acknowledged the continuous technical support provided by @dsn_ai_network in helping shape the operational and technical framework of the Hub.
In his keynote address, the Honourable Minister of the @FMCIDENigeria, @bosuntijani, highlighted the critical role of AI in driving Nigeria's national development through investments in digital infrastructure, innovation, economic growth, and public service delivery. This vision was echoed by Uche Amaonwu, Director of the Gates Foundation Nigeria Country Office (@Gates_Nigeria), who reinforced the importance of building scalable AI solutions that address real development challenges.
The event also featured the launch of the Scaling AI for Development (SAID) Challenge, an initiative designed to connect clearly defined challenges from Nigerian government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) with Nigerian AI startups that have already developed and validated impactful solutions. The goal is simple: accelerate the adoption of locally built AI innovations where they can deliver measurable public value.
Interested AI startups can learn more and apply through the naish.lbs.edu.ng/
As a technical partner to the Nigeria AI Scaling Hub, we remains committed to contributing the technical expertise, research excellence, and ecosystem leadership required to help build a thriving AI ecosystem where Nigerian innovations are not only developed, but successfully deployed at scale to solve the nation's most pressing challenges.

I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.
