Lagos has always been a city of ambition, but Igbo people have added their own unmistakable rhythm to it: resilience, enterprise, community, culture, and the courage to start again anywhere. Lagos Igbo Hangout is a reminder of who we are, how far we have come, and the hard-working spirit that continues to define our people. 📍 Lagos Igbo Hangout 2026

Been a privilege driving ecosystem growth in Nigeria for Solana, the world’s third-largest blockchain ecosystem, as the Lead of Superteam Nigeria 🇳🇬. Solana Summit Nigeria is our flagship ecosystem gathering, bringing together builders, founders, developers, investors, creators, institutions, regulators, and users to showcase what’s being built, forge new partnerships, and accelerate Solana’s adoption across Africa. Last year, we hosted the ecosystem in Abuja. This year, we brought everyone to Uyo - Akwa Ibom state. Three days of product launches, keynotes, hackathons, ecosystem announcements, culture, networking and meaningful conversations. The Nigerian Solana ecosystem has never been stronger. Onward 🚀

The Nigerian Solana ecosystem is no longer emerging. It is shipping, scaling, and becoming commercially relevant.

“Nigerian Fintechs aren’t integrating CNGN” - Seun Langele CNGN’s biggest challenge is product-market fit and distribution. It’s a problem that whoever owned growth never really had the bandwidth to solve. For the few fintechs I’ve spoken to, the economics aren’t compelling enough. If they’re already settling via bank transfers or dollar stablecoins, adding another asset means engineering work, compliance reviews, treasury management, and liquidity provisioning. Unless CNGN can significantly lower costs, improve settlement speed, or unlock new revenue, it’s hard to justify prioritising it over existing infrastructure.

Just witnessed what the future of Nigerian finance would look like, powered by stablecoin on Solana 🫡 Met up with the Myaza team to test their stablecoin-powered POS machines. Completed a transaction in under 2 seconds directly from my Solana wallet 🔥 Multiple businesses in Lagos are already using it to receive payment. Now, we scale this across the country 🚀

Our biggest challenge building out of Africa isn’t talent. It’s capital formation. Across the continent, we have enough brilliant founders building solid products. What we don’t have enough of is patient, risk-tolerant capital that understands the market, backs local ambition early, and gives African startups the room to scale globally. The talent is here. The capital just needs to catch up.

My Full Speech: Good afternoon, distinguished members of the Committee, Thank you for the opportunity to share a few thoughts on how Nigeria’s current prohibitive stance on cryptocurrency is unintentionally holding back one of our country’s greatest assets, our human capital. Over the last few years, Nigerian founders, developers, marketers, designers, and creatives have become some of the most sought-after talents in the global blockchain economy. Yet, while the rest of the world is creating clear frameworks to nurture these builders, our own policies often push them away. Restrictive regulations stop innovation, moving it offshore. Many Nigerian founders move their businesses abroad because they can’t access local banking or payment infrastructure. As a result, the values they create like jobs and intellectual property, are being booked outside our borders. This regulatory uncertainty also discourages legitimate players who would otherwise operate transparently. Instead of collecting tax from licensed companies, we’re driving billions of naira in transactions into unregulated underground markets. By trying to protect the system, we’re actually weakening it, increasing fraud exposure, and leaving consumers unprotected. A balanced, risk-based framework would achieve the opposite. It would give innovators room to build under clear rules, allow the government to supervise activities properly, and encourage foreign investors to set up compliant operations here. Young people are already building, onchain, globally, and proudly Nigerian. The question is whether they’ll be allowed to build from Nigeria or be forced to build outside it. I urge this Committee to move beyond prohibition and embrace collaboration, with industry, and with communities like Superteam Nigeria, already doing the work. With the right policy direction, Nigeria can transform from being a crypto consumer market to a blockchain innovation hub for all of Africa. Thank you.
