Co-Dev Hub paid a courtesy visit to the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola. Where we had the opportunity to meet with Jane Osariemen Amos, Director of Administrative Services, and Daniel Chibuzo Okereke, Registrar/VPA, Department of Administrative Services.

The visit provided an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and explore areas of collaboration between Co-Development Hub and AUN, particularly around innovation, entrepreneurship, capacity development, and opportunities that can create meaningful impact for young people and the wider community. We look forward to building on this engagement and exploring opportunities for a stronger partnership between both institutions.

iDICE Startup Bridge Founders Lab – Cohort 2 Onboarding

On 14 September 2026, Co-Development Hub successfully onboarded five founders attached to the Hub under Cohort 2 of the iDICE Startup Bridge Founders Lab. The onboarding session introduced the founders to the programme structure, roles and responsibilities, key activities, expectations and milestones throughout the incubation period.

The founders also had an insightful engagement with Mr. Yusuf Hayatudeen, CEO & Chairman of Bixil Garden, who shared practical entrepreneurial experiences and strategic insights to support their venture development.

As they begin this journey, the founders will benefit from practical mentorship, technical guidance, strategic support, networks and ecosystem connections from experienced actors, including Hajiya Fatima Yarima Askira, Mr. Yusuf Hayatudeen, and other relevant stakeholders.

Here’s to a productive incubation journey, stronger ventures and meaningful impact.

Sometimes, all it takes is a cup of tea to start a really good conversation.

Yesterday at Co-Dev Hub, the Tea Circle unfolded into an afternoon of tasting, learning, sharing, and discovering new possibilities. What began around herbs and tea quickly opened up conversations about wellness, creativity, business, and the entrepreneurial opportunities hidden in everyday things.

We’re grateful to Mrs. Fatima Yetcha, CEO of Sawule, for bringing the Tea Circle to life, and to Mr. Rahama Ali Mongonu, CEO of Mongonu and Bridgewater Green Foundation, who added even more value to the experience with an impactful session and a shared tea moment.

From the conversations to the lessons, the flavours, the ideas, and the connections, The Tea Circle was a beautiful reminder that meaningful ideas can grow from the simplest things.

And to everyone who showed up, shared an idea, asked a question, tasted a blend, or simply became part of the circle—thank you. Your presence, openness, and contributions made the experience what it was. The Tea Circle was not just about what was in the cup; it was about the conversations and possibilities that came from it.

Empowering Young Voices Through Digital Storytelling

As part of the DSR Project, Co-Dev Hub facilitated a refresher session for young mentees from internally displaced communities, strengthening their practical skills in storytelling and mobile photography.

The session focused on equipping participants to document experiences, capture meaningful moments, and communicate stories that reflect the realities, aspirations, and resilience of their communities.

Beyond storytelling, these skills can contribute to creative livelihood opportunities, strengthen self-expression, and enable young people to participate more meaningfully in conversations around inclusion, reintegration, and durable solutions.

By investing in young people and their skills, we are supporting them to become not only storytellers, but active voices in shaping the future of their communities. The project is supported through the UNHCR Innovation Service.
