IBX Campaign Gains Momentum As Olufemi Bamisile Contributes N10m

In a defining show of confidence in Nigeria’s emerging digital economy, Rt. Hon. Olufemi Richard Bamisile PhD, Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Committee on the Economic, Regulatory and Security Implications of Cryptocurrency Adoption and PoS Operations in Nigeria, has redeemed a pledge of N10 million in financial support toward the continued growth of the Ibom Blockchain Xperience (IBX), West Africa’s largest blockchain campaign.

The support, announced during his participation at IBX 2026 in Uyo, represents more than a financial contribution. It signals a powerful alignment between policy leadership and the innovators building Nigeria’s blockchain ecosystem.

At a time when the digital asset industry in Nigeria continues to navigate regulatory uncertainty and evolving global standards, Hon. Bamisile’s gesture has been widely viewed within the ecosystem as a strong vote of confidence in the country’s blockchain movement and the role of community driven initiatives like Ibom Blockchain Xperience in shaping the future of innovation in Africa.

Leadership That Goes Beyond Policy

As Chairman of the National Assembly’s committee examining the economic, regulatory, and security implications of cryptocurrency adoption and PoS operations, Hon. Bamisile occupies a central role in Nigeria’s ongoing conversation around digital asset governance.

But at IBX, his engagement went beyond policy dialogue. After delivering a keynote address outlining Nigeria’s evolving approach toward responsible blockchain innovation, Hon. Bamisile took a further step that resonated deeply with the blockchain community present at the event.

Having learned about the operational challenges faced in sustaining one of Africa’s largest grassroots blockchain initiatives, he announced a personal financial commitment of N10,000,000 to support the continued growth and impact of the Ibom Blockchain Xperience campaign.
