The Nigerian government expects to produce two to three new unicorns before the end of 2023. Isa Ali Pantami, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy said this while speaking on a panel with ministers from other countries at the LEAP technology conference organised by the Digital Corporation Organisation (DCO).
According to the minister, Nigeria has so far led the unicorn counts in Africa with five of the seven known unicorns originating in Nigeria. These include Interswitch, Jumia, Flutterwave, Opay, and Andela.
