Benue Agri Business Hub

BENCEDI

Benue Centre for Enterprise Development and Innovation (BENCEDI) was conceived by His Excellency Governor Samuel Ortom to be Benue’s prime innovation and technology hub for net-generation skills for teaming numbers of Benue youth.

BENCEDI HUB is the first of its kind in the history of Benue State. It is made up of two major parts: the Tech Innovation Hub, to focus on raising tech entrepreneurs to leverage soft skills ranging from coding, software development, product design, graphics, animations, game design and development, digital marketing, cyber security, artificial intelligence, drones and robotics programming, etc and also the MSME’s skill acquisition workshops ranging from Fashion design, Hairdressing, Shoe Making, welding and fabrication, solar and security installations, agricultural technologies etc.. These will empower the youths and connect them to mentorship and funding opportunities that will enable them to create start-ups that will lead to job creation, thus reducing sole reliance on the government’s direct jobs, unemployment and crime while engaging the youths productively with fun.

BENCEDI is uniquely positioned to challenge the youth to leverage on the power of infotech and other innovatechs to assist MSME’S in creating start-ups and businesses that that will foster adequate digital awareness in infotech, innovatech and fintech to connect to potential customers from other regions of the world while operating here in Benue State. This will go a long way in drastically increasing the success rates and revenue of MSME’S in Benue State, which will in turn give them the ability to expand and create more jobs.

 

BENCEDI HUB envisions becoming the single largest hub in the near future, creating innovative solutions that become viable start-ups and profitable businesses; also the highest producer of tech entrepreneurs with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century and the highest number of trained MSME’s producing high-quality products and services with a competitive edge in any part of the world.
