Joel Nwankwo, Chief Editor of ByteOnChainNews, emphasized the importance of media in nurturing a thriving Web3 ecosystem. He acknowledged the collective effort required to build such an ecosystem, expressing gratitude for the role Borderless plays in advancing Web3 in Port Harcourt and the South-South region of Nigeria.
Speaking at the Borderless Web3 event in Port Harcourt today, Joel explained that ByteOnChainNews was created to address a major data gap in the Port Harcourt Web3 scene, where tech and Web3 news coverage has been limited.
Unlike the Western regions of Nigeria, which have leveraged media effectively for tech growth, Southern Nigeria has faced challenges in visibility and resource accessibility. ByteOnChainNews aims to change this narrative by providing inspiring content and meaningful opportunities to foster growth.
“The goal of ByteOnChainNews goes beyond news; it strives to build a platform that connects subscribers to valuable resources such as grants and job opportunities within the Web3 industry,” said Joel Nwankwo.
Joel highlighted the wealth of grant opportunities in Web3 and noted ByteOnChainNews’s efforts to collaborate with partners to bring these to subscribers.
ByteOnChainNews also seeks to become a vital source of first-hand information on Web3, providing subscribers with a newsletter packed with insights, event updates, and exclusive opportunities.
Joel hinted at exciting new offerings that ByteOnChainNews plans to roll out before the end of the year, signaling their commitment to growing the Port Harcourt tech space.
Joel’s believes that ByteOnChainNews can represent the transformative power of media to elevate the region’s Web3 presence, ensuring a stronger, interconnected ecosystem for the future.
