The Nigerian Federal Government has launched a new digital platform called D30, aimed at attracting investment into the country’s tourism and creative sectors. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to boost the national economy, with the government setting a target of generating $100 billion in gross domestic product from these industries.
D30 is designed to serve as a one‑stop hub for investors, entrepreneurs and creative professionals, offering tools and resources to streamline project development and funding. By consolidating information and facilitating connections, the platform seeks to make it easier for stakeholders to identify and pursue opportunities across Nigeria’s diverse cultural and tourism landscapes.
Officials say the platform will help unlock the economic potential of tourism—spanning heritage sites, wildlife reserves and urban attractions—as well as creative outputs such as film, music, fashion and digital media. The $100 billion goal reflects the government’s confidence that these sectors can become significant contributors to the national GDP.
While the platform’s launch marks a key step toward modernising investment processes, its success will depend on sustained engagement from both public and private actors. The government has indicated that D30 will be regularly updated to reflect market trends and policy developments.
