The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have joined forces to empower Nigerian startups through the iHatch Startup Incubation Programme Cohort III.
In a recent statement, NITDA’s Director General, Kashifu Abdullahi, highlighted the programme’s role in fostering Nigeria’s startup ecosystem and supporting the next generation of tech innovators.
During the closing ceremony of the third cohort in Abuja, Abdullahi and the Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Kazuyoshi Matsunaga, praised the winners and underscored the importance of the partnership in driving innovation and entrepreneurship in the country.

“This collaboration is a key step in our ongoing efforts to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in Nigeria,” NITDA wrote on X. The initiative aligns with NITDA’s Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2.0) by prioritizing strategic partnerships, collaboration, and the nurturing of an innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Building on the success of the first two cohorts, the third cohort expanded to five locations across Nigeria—Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Gombe—to further increase its impact.
Abdullahi encouraged participants to establish a mentorship platform and pledged NITDA’s support. He also suggested that JICA consider expanding the initiative to all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Japan’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Kazuyoshi Matsunaga, reiterated Japan’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and sustainable growth in Nigeria. He emphasized the value of collaborative partnerships that promote knowledge sharing and anticipated greater cooperation between Nigerian and Japanese businesses as these startups develop.
