Wait, what?
It’s called Ventures platform and according to their website, it’s launching on June 3
That’s 2 weeks from today.
It’s being built by a company called Emerging Platforms, headed by Kola Aina
Thanks for stopping by Tolu Ogunlesi.

If you’d like to see the hub for yourself, it’s located at Aso Drive in Maitama, Abuja

It’s great to see innovation hubs and co-working campuses open up in other (read: non-Yaba) parts of the country, and this is definitely one of the more interesting ones. Don’t you agree?
