This morning, I joined Rufai Oseni, Vimbai Ekpenyong and Dr. Reuben Abati on ARISE TV to discuss the South East Development Commission — our fiscal strategy, our priorities, and our long-term vision for the region, in strong collaboration with state governments, the private sector, and other key stakeholders.
Here is the full conversation.
Our mission remains clear: build sustainable infrastructure, mobilise private capital, and drive real economic growth across the South East.

Last year we had the Bootcamp which was second phase of the Enugu Campus Hackathon.
What you’re seeing here was part of the foundation of something powerful that is about to unfold this month.
The Enugu Campus Hackathon Boot Camp brought together young innovators ready to learn, unlearn, and build. In rooms filled with curiosity, pressure, mentorship, and ambition, ideas were stress-tested, teams were refined, and raw potential was shaped into real solutions.
The boot camp stage wasn’t about perfection it was about preparation.
Because what comes next demands more clarity, more courage, and more execution. The next phase raises the bar, and only teams ready to push beyond limits will make it through.
The journey continues… and the stakes just got higher. Stay tuned as we will update you shortly on what is to come next.

Behind every strong innovation ecosystem are experienced builders willing to guide the next generation and a government bold enough to create the platform.
At the Enugu Campus Hackathon Bootcamp, seasoned mentors worked closely with finalists, sharing practical lessons on product clarity, execution discipline, user validation, scalability, and pitch precision. These weren’t just lectures but they were hands-on strategy sessions designed to refine ideas into viable, investible solutions.
Through the deliberate efforts of the Enugu State Government, this initiative continues to demonstrate what structured support for youth innovation truly looks like creating access to mentorship, exposure, and real opportunity.

BREAKING NEWS: What’s happening in Enugu right now could redefine Nigeria’s tech future.
Across six campuses, 35 exceptional teams have entered a one-week, government-funded bootcamp where young innovators are turning raw ideas into real products — AI tools, AgriTech systems, HealthTech platforms, EdTech engines, fintech rails and more.
This isn’t a regular hackathon.
It’s a core pillar of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s (@pnmbah) Digital Economy Transformation Plan, engineered to build a $30B digital economy by placing youth-led innovation at the heart of growth.
Powered by the Enugu MSME & Startup Agency (@enugusmeagency) under the leadership of Arinze Chilo-Offiah (@chilo_aco), with support from @genesystechhub, @thegarageng_ and Capitis Global Ventures, the program is building a structured innovation pipeline:
Classroom → Bootcamp → Accelerator → Market → Jobs.
Enugu is no longer waiting for the future.
Enugu is building it — founder by founder, campus by campus.
