The Lagos Tech Scene in 2025

A New Wave of Builders

Nigeria's commercial capital has quietly become one of Africa's most important technology hubs. From Yaba to Victoria Island, startups are emerging at a pace that would have seemed impossible a decade ago.

What's Driving Growth

• Youthful population with high mobile penetration
• Growing access to venture capital from local and foreign investors
• A culture of resilience and resourcefulness
• Expanding fibre infrastructure across the city
