President Muhammadu Buhari has signed into law the Nigeria Start-Up Bill.
Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, announced this after meeting with the President at the State House.
According to Pantami, the Start-Up Law passed on July 20, 2022 was a bill initiated by the executive arm and sought to create an enabling environment for tech-based start-ups in Nigeria.
Pantami said the law with enormous benefits for the economy would aid young start-ups to identify and express their business challenges much easier.
