Nigerian Presidency Clashes with ADC Over Lagos Tech Hub Ranking

The Nigerian Presidency, through Special Adviser Bayo Onanuga, has strongly rebutted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following a global report that named Lagos as the fastest-growing emerging technology ecosystem globally. Onanuga criticized the ADC for its negative narrative and emphasized Lagos' top ranking, surpassing cities like Istanbul, Pune, Mumbai, and Belo Horizonte.

The Presidency highlighted Lagos' thriving startup ecosystem and its significant influence on the global digital economy. The response aimed to showcase the positive recognition of Nigeria's tech sector amidst ongoing political debates, particularly regarding the administration of President Bola Tinubu and economic reforms.
