Good People, on the authorities of the Abia Global Economic Advisory Council, the leaders of our State and all our citizens, we are inviting you to a Zoom session to discuss how we can build a dynamic startup (and SME) ecosystem in Abia State. We do know that nations rise when great entrepreneurs emerge, and that does imply that forming, scaling and nurturing great companies will remain catalytic for the advancement of nations.
Abia for decades has been a centerprise for the pursuit of entrepreneurial capitalism. After all, the state’s slogan is “prosperity through enterprise”, encapsulating our cultural worldview, that by building and running firms, you thrive. We want to strengthen the ecosystem to ensure Abia remains a home of opportunity, not just for the traditional enterprises, but for the modern.
Across many vectors, from startups, owners, investors, governments, regulators, users, etc, we need a roadmap. We have some ideas already, but you have BETTER ideas, and that is why we invite you.

We want you to help create the Abia State Startup/SME Roadmap you desire. Kindly go to this form and share your ideas on what that Roadmap should look like. Please note that we’re looking at many things here, including investors, founders, companies, users, and all stakeholders. So, it is not just for those looking for funds. Think of what could be done to create that dynamic startup/SME ecosystem you have desired in Africa.
May 22, 2024: Good People, let me begin by thanking everyone for your love and support of my dear state, Abia State. During the Transition phase into the curent government, we tapped into the energies of the global community. Your insights and perspectives are helping our Governor and his team to deliver a promising future for Abians. The state has put together some foundational things, and now, the next phase is about to begin.
The Abia Global Economic Advisory Council, constituted by our Governor, Dr Alex Otti, is looking for a Roadmap which will make Abia a leader in the pursuit of entrepreneurial capitalism. Yes, as in the motto of the state – prosperity through enterprise -Abia wants to become a center of innovation, and opportunity, in Africa.
The members of the Council, leaders of our State, and all Abians will need your support again. Simply, what would you expect to see for a state which wants to build a dynamic enterprising and innovative economy? What are the pillars, anchors, enablers and other catalysts? How could that be done, considering the unique nature of Abia. We have some ideas already but YOU are smarter because we’re building for you.
On Friday, I will return with a post and how you can be part of this. The goal is to have a roadmap which will help in developing the startup (and SME) ecosystem in the state. We invite founders, investors, citizens and all (in homeland and diaspora), because this is about Abia, and all citizens of the world are Abians.
