- Lagos ranks as the world’s fastest-growing tech ecosystem according to Dealroom.co’s Global Tech Ecosystem Index 2025.
- The city has recorded an 11.6-fold increase in startup enterprise value since 2017.
- Lagos has generated five unicorns, including Jumia Group, Flutterwave, OPay, Moniepoint, and Interswitch.
