The report highlighted the country’s progress in adopting digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and broadband infrastructure.

The report revealed that Nigeria’s digital transformation market size is estimated at $9.61 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $22.82 billion by 2029. Similarly, the AI market, valued at $1.05 billion in 2024, is expected to grow to $1.05 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow to $4.64 billion by 2030. These figures underscored the rapid adoption of digital technologies in the country, driven by a tech-savvy younger population, increased broadband penetration, and robust public and private sector initiatives.

The report pointed out that “the finance and telecommunications sectors are driving this growth. Around 32 per cent of financial service providers now use AI for credit scoring, fraud detection, and customer engagement, while fintech firms like Paystack and Flutterwave have revolutionized digital payments. Expanded broadband connectivity has also fueled e-commerce and entrepreneurial opportunities, strengthening Nigeria’s digital economy.”

It added that “the ICT sector remains a key contributor to economic growth, making up 29 per cent of Africa’s internet usage and increasing its GDP contribution from 8.1 per cent in 2020 to 10.3 per cent in 2022, reaching a valuation of $55.4 billion.
