Nigeria launched a $672 million fund on Tuesday to support tech and creative sectors for young investors who struggle to raise capital in Africa's largest economy

The fund - targeting 15 to 35-year-olds - comes at a time when there are concerns locally about the failure of U.S. startup-focused lender SVB Financial Group, which has supported startups in Nigeria.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo launched the $672 million fund under the Digital and Creative Enterprises Programme in the federal capital Abuja, the presidency said in a statement. The government through Bank of Industry Nigeria will release $45 million while the private sector pledged $271 million.
