Digital and creative start-ups in Nigeria will receive additional financial support after the African Development Bank (AfDB) committed to a USD170 million loan to a government programme.

Announced on 16 December, the Bank’s board of directors approved the loan to the Nigerian federal government’s Digital and Creative Enterprises Program (i_DICE), which aims to provide investment, support and training to young Nigerians who lead micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
