The report explained that Lagos emerged top fastest-growing tech city because it plays home to 5 unicorns, including Interswitch, Flutterwave, Jumia, OPay, and Moniepoint.

“This year, Lagos (#1) is topping the list, having created 5 unicorns and grown its ecosystem valuation 11.6x since 2017 despite a smaller economy,” the report stated.
