Design the Blended Finance Vehicle That Funds Nigerian Social Enterprises at Scale
Nigerian social enterprises generating real impact cannot access commercial capital because their returns are too low for private investors and too commercial for grant-only donors. Design the vehicle that fills this gap.
Channel Nigerian Diaspora Wealth Into Impact Investment at Home
Nigerian diaspora wealth is estimated at over $250 billion. Almost none of it is invested in Nigeria's social sector. Design the investment platform that channels even 1% of it toward verified social impact.
Design the Legal and Regulatory Framework Nigeria's Social Enterprises Need
Nigerian social enterprises operate in a legal vacuum — too commercial for NGO registration, not profit-focused enough for company law. Design the hybrid legal framework that fits them.
Build the Road Safety Data Infrastructure Nigeria Needs to Save 40,000 Lives a Year
Nigeria loses over 40,000 people to road crashes annually. The data system that could track crash causes and locations to target interventions barely exists. Design it.
Build the Community Policing App That Improves Safety Without Enabling Mob Justice
Nigeria's police force has 370,000 officers for 220 million people. Community safety depends on civilian participation. Design the app that enables this without becoming a tool for vigilantism.
Protect Nigerian MSMEs from Cybercrime
Cybercrime costs Nigerian businesses an estimated ₦2 trillion annually. MSMEs are the most vulnerable and have the least protection. Design the affordable cybersecurity solution built for them.
Design the Rent-to-Own Product That Puts Nigerians on the Path to Home Ownership
Most Nigerians who want to own a home will never qualify for a conventional mortgage. Rent-to-own offers a different path. Design the product that works in Nigeria's specific property and legal environment.
Design the Co-Living Model That Makes Affordable Housing Work for Urban Nigerian Youth
A decent one-bedroom apartment in Lagos costs ₦1.5 million annually. A recent graduate earns ₦100,000 per month. The maths does not work. Design the co-living model that does.
Build the Commercial Real Estate Analytics Platform Nigeria's Property Market Needs
Nigerian investors and businesses make multi-billion naira commercial property decisions on gut feel and broker claims. Design the data platform that replaces guesswork with evidence.
Enable Nigerian Professionals to Deliver Services Across Africa Under the AfCFTA
The African Continental Free Trade Area includes provisions for professional services mobility. Most Nigerian lawyers, accountants, and consultants have no idea how to use them. Design the enablement platform.
Reduce Fire Deaths in Nigeria's Dense Urban Settlements
Fires kill hundreds and destroy thousands of businesses in Nigerian markets and neighbourhoods every year. Early detection and response time are the critical factors. Design the community fire safety system that saves lives.
Hold Nigerian Elected Officials Accountable to Their Constituents
