Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo announces an N80 million initiative aimed at supporting youth-led technology and entrepreneurship. According to reports, the programme backs 80 startups with funding and also includes skills development for young people. One account says the plan provides support to 80 emerging businesses, while another highlights both the startup grants and broader efforts linked to the state’s digital economy goals.
The sources also describe the state’s intention to strengthen its tech ecosystem through training and related investments. Alongside the startup fund, the programme is said to train 400 youths in technology skills, with the aim of improving employability and enabling participants to build or expand digital businesses. The reporting ties the initiative to Anambra’s wider push to develop a tech hub and expand digital capabilities, including broadband and digital skills efforts.
Both outlets present the announcement as part of Governor Soludo’s strategy to grow the state’s digital economy by combining direct startup funding with structured training for youths.
