🌍 Are we truly ready for the energy transition? A recent article highlights the pressing need for Host Community Development Trusts (HCDTs) in the Niger Delta to step up their game. Policy Alert raises concerns over the lack of a comprehensive strategy to shift towards cleaner energy, which is becoming increasingly crucial. Moreover, the exclusion of women from board management positions in these Trusts is a step back for progress. It's essential for all voices, especially women, to be involved in shaping our energy future. Let’s advocate for inclusive decision-making and innovative solutions that prioritize sustainability! Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable future for our communities. What are your thoughts on the role of women in energy policy?

#DTSENUGU 2025 #startupsouthx

Teamwork. Grit. Vision. That’s what #DTSEnugu2025 was built on. I’ve always believed that teamwork makes the dream work, but this event gave me a whole new lens on what’s truly possible when a highly motivated team rallies around a shared mission. With barely a month to plan and almost zero funding, we pulled off what many are calling the most talked-about tech event in Enugu since the Enugu Tech Festival. 🔥 Back-to-back momentum. ⚡ Zero excuses. 🚀 Maximum impact. If you were part of this magic — on stage, behind the scenes, or in the crowd — drop a 🔥 in the comments and let’s relive the moment. What stood out the most for you? Let’s celebrate what we’ve started. #yusocial #StartupSouth

This lady travelled all the way from Port Harcourt to exhibit at the just concluded #dtsenugu2025 event.

Leave your comfort zone and do what you have not done before. #StartupSouthX is next in Port Harcourt; make plans to attend it. If you show up, you will collect. #startupsouthx #yusocial #StartupSouth

Sometimes, all it takes is showing up. Shola’s journey reminds us of a deeper truth: That innovation doesn't thrive in isolation — it accelerates when vision meets the right ecosystem. From simply wanting a photo in San Francisco… To leading one of Africa’s most transformative tech exits. That leap didn’t happen by chance. It happened because someone stepped into the right room — where conversations spark courage, and community drives momentum. That’s what makes events like DTS Enugu 2025 more than just “programs.” They’re where ideas meet partners. Where builders meet believers. Where the next chapter gets written — and some of us get to hold the pen.

The One Conversation That Changed Her Business Last year, Amarachi was stuck. She had a great product. A loyal handful of customers. But no idea how to grow. At an event, she met a startup founder who showed her a simple tech tool for inventory and payments. They spoke for 10 minutes. She implemented the solution. 3 months later, her revenue doubled.
