Taking place at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island on Saturday, July 5th, the conference aims to accelerate Africa’s leadership in the Web3 space.
International and local experts are converging under the theme “Igniting Africa’s Web3 Revolution” to discuss real-world blockchain applications that meet Africa’s unique needs.
Industry powerhouses including Busha, cNGN, and Blok AI have thrown their support behind the event.
Nova Phoenix, co-convener of the event and MD/CEO of Lyfeblood, flew in from the United States to lead the initiative.
“My passion for Africa, the motherland, is one of the core inspirations for putting this together,” he said.
“We’re here to help grow the ecosystem and empower Nigerians with the knowledge, networks, and opportunities needed to lead Africa’s digital revolution.”
Rume Ophi, a well-known blockchain advocate and co-convener, highlighted the event’s strategic significance.
“This is a conference anyone serious about the future should not miss,” Ophi said.
“We’re not just talking about technology. We’re discussing how blockchain and Web3 can solve African problems and generate real economic value.”
The Decentralized Nigeria 2025 conference includes four major panel sessions focused on practical innovation.
Discussions will centre on community-driven marketing, sustainable funding, blockchain education, and regulatory clarity.
Unlike conferences driven by hype or speculation, this event focuses on tangible solutions for long-term impact.
Sponsors are also aligned with this vision. Busha, one of Nigeria’s leading crypto platforms, is a key sponsor.
“Nigeria is leading Africa’s Web3 charge, with the talent, need, and innovation to back it,” said Olaoluwa Samuel-Biyi, Director at Busha.
“Continued progress depends on education, infrastructure, and regulation. That’s why we’re proud to support this conference.”
Chinonso Chijioke of BLOK AI echoed this commitment. “We’re supporting Decentralized Nigeria because we believe this is a major project of impact for the Web3 scene in Africa.”
The conference has attracted notable partners including Channels Television, Tech Economy, CAB, and Business Insider.
Their involvement ensures that the conversations and ideas generated this weekend will resonate far beyond the venue.
Speakers include prominent names from across the ecosystem. Hanu Fejiro, founder of Patricia Technologies, brings deep industry insight, while Chinedu Obidiegwu of Luno Nigeria represents one of Africa’s largest crypto exchanges.
Senator Ihenyen, Muhammad Abdullahi Yusuf of 100 Million Foundation, and Shamsuddeen Ibrahim, founder of The Orange Block, will also speak.
Jerry Gwamna, a respected advisor in blockchain security and DeFi, rounds out the impressive lineup.
The organisers are positioning Decentralized Nigeria 2025 not as a one-time event but as a catalyst for ongoing development.
The relationships formed, ideas shared, and strategies created are intended to drive progress well into the future.
“This is just the beginning,” said one speaker. “What starts in Lagos this weekend could reshape the trajectory of African innovation for years to come.”
With seats limited and industry attention growing, the event is expected to raise the bar for Web3 conferences across the continent.
It provides a rare opportunity for developers, investors, and policymakers to align their goals in support of a digital-first Africa.

As Africa takes a more central role in global blockchain adoption, Decentralized Nigeria 2025 conference is set to define how that transformation unfolds—with Lagos leading the way.
The Executive Governor of Zamfara State Dr Dauda Lawal has received the Outstanding Governor Award from the Daily Times in the North–West region during its centenary anniversary in Abuja.
The governor accepted the award today at the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards, organised by Nigeria’s oldest newspaper to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
Governor Lawal was recognised for his leadership, public service, and contribution to national development.
The award was part of activities celebrating the centenary of the newspaper, which was first published in 1926 and has chronicled Nigeria’s political, economic, social, and cultural progress over the past century.
Chairman of the DTN@100 Heroes Awards Council, Bolaji Okusaga, stated that Governor Lawal was chosen because he received the highest nominations in the North-West.
“Following an extensive nomination and public voting process, you received the highest number of votes in this award category.
“The Times Heroes Award Council and other key stakeholders subsequently confirmed your selection in recognition of your leadership, public service, and contribution to national development,” Mr. Okusaga said.
Governor Lawal expressed his gratitude to the Board, Management, and Organising Committee of the Daily Times Nigeria @100 Celebration, the Times Heroes Award Council, and all Nigerians who supported his nomination.
He stated that the honour reflects his commitment to promoting good governance and effective public service in Zamfara State.
Other notable Nigerians honoured include the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; and former President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina.
The newspaper announced that recipients of the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards will be featured among the most outstanding individuals and institutions in the 700-page Nigerian Grand Book.
“This publication will serve as a national commemorative volume and a lasting record of the people, institutions, and achievements shaping Nigeria’s development.”
The foreword of the Nigerian Grand Book has been written by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Group Chief Executive of Oando Plc, Jubril Adewale Tinubu, has congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 60th birthday, describing him as a distinguished public servant whose career has been defined by integrity, resilience and commitment to national service.
Tinubu, in a goodwill message issued on Wednesday, commended Shettima for his contributions to Nigeria’s development and his years of service in both the public and private sectors.
He said public service at the highest level requires sound judgment, resilience and the ability to remain focused amid the challenges associated with leadership.
“Happy 60th birthday, Your Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON.
“Public service at the highest levels in Nigeria is not a path for those in search of comfort. It demands sound judgement, resilience through challenging seasons, and the consistency to remain focused on the responsibility at hand,” Tinubu stated.
Reflecting on Shettima’s career, the Oando chief executive noted that the Vice President’s journey from banking to public administration had been marked by service and perseverance.
He particularly referenced Shettima’s tenure as governor of Borno State, describing his leadership of the state during difficult years as an important phase of his public career.
“From a distinguished career in banking to leading Borno through some of the toughest years in its history, and now as Vice President of our country, yours has been a journey marked by service, excellence and perseverance,” he said.
Tinubu also prayed for the Vice President as he begins his seventh decade, wishing him good health, wisdom and strength to continue serving the country.
“On this day and ever more, may Allah grant you good health, wisdom, strength, and joy in the company of those you hold dear.
“I wish you every blessing and fulfilment in your service to our great nation and its people,” he added.
