Co-Creation Hub (CcHUB), the Lagos-based innovation hub that helped shape Nigeria’s startup ecosystem, is expanding its Yaba headquarters as it prepares for a new generation of African founders seeking more than just office space.

The organisation on Monday said it is opening an additional floor at its Yaba Innovation Hub, adding dedicated desks and, for the first time in its 15-year history, enclosed private offices for startup teams. The expansion reflects how Africa’s startup scene has evolved from small, founder-led projects into larger companies that require space for teams, operations, and longer-term growth.

Yaba—considered Nigeria’s answer to Silicon Valley—has served as the centre of the country’s technology industry. CcHUB became one of the institutions at the heart of that rise, offering founders workspaces, mentorship, investor access, and proximity to other entrepreneurs at a time when Nigeria’s startup infrastructure was still nascent.

CcHUB said the new floor is designed to preserve the collaborative culture that defined the organisation’s early years while accommodating companies that now require larger teams and more privacy.
