So how can your startup in Yobe State actually benefit from the Nigeria Startup Act?

Over the past two days, we’ve talked about what the Act is and the opportunities it provides. Today, let’s bring it home — how you can take action and start benefiting

Step 1: Do You Qualify?

To benefit from the startup act, your startup should:

- Be registered in Nigeria (CAC)
- Be less than 10 years old
- Use technology as a core part of your solution
- Have at least one Nigerian founder

If this sounds like you, then you’re already on the right path.

Step 2: Get the Startup Label

The Startup Label is your gateway.

This is what officially recognizes your startup and unlocks:

- Funding opportunities
- Tax incentives
- Access to national and global networks

Step 3: Register on the Official Portal

You can begin your journey here:

https://startup.gov.ng

Step 4: Application Process (Simple Guide)

1. Create an account using your email
2. Verify your email
3. Log in and complete your startup profile:
- Business name
- CAC details
- What your startup does (your solution)
4. Upload necessary documents
5. Apply for the Startup Label

Step 5: Review & Approval

- Your application will be reviewed
- Once approved, your startup becomes officially recognized
- You can now access the full benefits of the Act

Why This Matters for Yobe State

For a long time, many great ideas in our state didn’t scale — not because they lacked potential, but because they lacked structure and access.

Now, that gap is being closed.

Your idea can be recognized
Your startup can be supported
Your solution can scale beyond Yobe

At Goni Nexus Enterprises Limited, we are not just sharing this information — we are ready to walk the journey with you.

What if your startup in Yobe State could access funding, tax benefits, and national recognition, just by being properly positioned?

This is exactly what the Start up Act is offering.

Yesterday, we introduced the Act. Today, let’s talk about what you actually stand to gain as a founder

Key Benefits for Startups

1. The Startup Label (Your Entry Point)
This is an official recognition given to qualified startups in Nigeria.
Once your startup gets this label, it opens the door to multiple opportunities.

2. Access to Funding & Investment
Startups can benefit from government-backed funding opportunities, including the Startup Investment Seed Fund.
This means your idea in Yobe can attract real financial support to grow and scale.

3. Tax Incentives
Qualified startups may enjoy tax reliefs and incentives.
This reduces the financial burden and allows you reinvest more into your business.

4. Access to Training, Mentorship & Ecosystem Support
Through the Act, startups are connected to:

- Innovation hubs
- Mentors and experts
- Capacity-building programs

This is where structures like Goni Nexus Enterprises Limited come in — to guide and support you locally.

5. Better Business Environment
The Act also works to simplify processes like registration, compliance, and collaboration with government agencies.
Less stress, more focus on building.

What This Means for Yobe

For a long time, many great ideas in our state didn’t go far — not because they weren’t good, but because they lacked support.

Now, the system is changing.

Your idea can:

- Get recognized
- Get supported
- Get funded

Right from here in Yobe State.

Tomorrow, I’ll show you how to qualify for the Startup Label and how you can start benefiting from this Act.

Did you know Nigeria now has a law designed specifically to support startups?

For many young innovators and entrepreneurs across Yobe State, one of the biggest challenges has always been access, access to funding, mentorship, structure, and opportunities to grow ideas into sustainable businesses.

This is exactly why the Startup act was introduced.

The Act is a national effort to create an enabling environment where startups can thrive, not just in major cities, but across states like ours. It is designed to connect startups to government support, investors, and innovation ecosystems, while also reducing the barriers that often slow down growth.

For our community, this is more than just a policy, it is an opportunity.

An opportunity for:

- Young people with ideas to build solutions
- Local innovators to gain recognition and support
- Startups in Yobe to compete on a national and global level

At Goni Nexus Enterprises Limited, we see this as a turning point. With the knowledge and exposure gained from the iHatch Cohort 5.0 programme, we are committed to bringing these opportunities closer to startups in our state.

This is just the beginning.

Tomorrow, I’ll break down the key benefits of the Nigeria Startup Act and what it means for you as a founder or aspiring entrepreneur in Yobe State.

We are proud to announce that Goni Nexus Enterprises Limited has been selected to represent Yobe State as an Innovation Hub under the iHatch Cohort 5.0 Programme 🇳🇬🚀

As part of this journey, our Founder/MD Muhammad Musbahu Goni was in Abuja for the iHatch Residency, arriving on the 19th, with intensive sessions running from the 20th to 24th, and departure on the 25th.

Day 2: Designing for Impact

Day 4: Ecosystem, Policy & People
We focused on Community Building and Ecosystem Activation:

Other key sessions included:

- Managing People and Talent in a Hub — building effective teams and leadership structures
- Monitoring, Evaluation, Research & Learning (MERL) — using data to track impact and improve
- Architecting Your Hub’s Theory of Change — linking vision, activities, and measurable outcomes

Grand Finale: Connection, Reflection & Inspiration
The final day was both impactful and memorable. We had a special engagement session with the Director General of NITDA Nigeria, ably represented by Dr. Amina Magaji, where key insights on the future of Nigeria’s digital innovation ecosystem were shared.

To crown the experience, we were hosted to a warm and generous open buffet fully sponsored by the National Coordinator herself — a moment that reflected not just hospitality, but the spirit of community, collaboration, and shared vision that defines iHatch.

With this wealth of knowledge, we are fully prepared and excited to begin training and supporting startups across Yobe State in the coming days.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to ONDINigeria and the entire team for the exceptional hospitality, knowledge, and resources provided. These investments will be put to great use in strengthening the innovation ecosystem in Yobe State and beyond.

The journey has just begun and the future is not just promising, it is being built.
