If you’re looking to grow a business or land an internship in Nigeria, this is the spot to check. We pull together the most useful stories about startups, government moves and market shifts that affect every entrepreneur. Think of it as your daily briefing without any fluff.
Recent headlines show how fast things can change. Lagos just flagged 176 illegal estates and gave developers a 21‑day deadline to sort out paperwork – a clear sign that compliance matters more than ever for real‑estate projects. Meanwhile, the Nigerian government is preparing to sell a massive 753‑unit estate seized from former CBN governor Godwin Emefiele, offering low‑ and middle‑income buyers a rare chance to own property.
On the tech side, INEC launched an online voter registration portal that will stay open until December 2025. While it’s about elections, the rollout demonstrates how digital platforms can reach millions – a lesson for entrepreneurs building fintech or civic‑tech solutions.
Sports also bring business buzz. Victor Osimhen’s possible move to Manchester United has sparked talks about player valuation and agent negotiations, reminding us that sports marketing is a lucrative niche in Nigeria. And Nigerian striker Jerome Adams’ new contract with Sevilla shows how talent can cross borders when the right connections are made.
First, treat every news bite as a data point for your strategy. If you’re in real‑estate, double‑check that your project has all layout approvals before you start building – it could save months of delays. For tech founders, study the INEC portal’s user flow; replicating that simplicity can boost adoption for your own app.
Second, keep an eye on government asset sales like the Emefiele estate. These auctions often list contacts and timelines that you can use to partner with local developers or offer consultancy services. Signing up for alerts from the Renewed Hope Portal will put you ahead of competitors.
Third, network where the buzz happens. Follow sports agents, fintech meet‑ups and real‑estate conferences that discuss the latest Lagos regulations. A quick chat after a match or during an industry webinar can turn a casual connection into a partnership.
Finally, don’t forget internships. Our site lists fresh internship openings across South Africa and Nigeria, many of which target students who want hands‑on experience with startups. Apply early, tailor your CV to the specific sector (tech, finance, real‑estate) and highlight any project that shows you understand the local market.
