In his presentation at the BSV Global Blockchain Convention, Mohamed Jega spoke in detail about how blockchain can solve many of Africa’s challenges and why it’s vital for these solutions to be built by Africans who best understand the challenges. Through the upcoming Blockchain Developers Summit in Nigeria, Jega is looking to bring together bright minds to chart a way forward for the continent.
The summit will be held on July 21-22 in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja. Organized by Domineum Blockchain Solutions and sponsored by the BSV Blockchain Association, the event will bring together entrepreneurs, government officials, students, startup founders, and blockchain enthusiasts to discuss solutions that can help tackle challenges facing Nigeria and the broader African region.
