Accompanied by the director general of the National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa; executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, (NCC), Prof. Umar Danbatta, the director general of the National Identity Management Commission, (NIMC), Engr Aliyu Aziz and the managing director/chief executive officer of Galaxy Backbone, Prof. Muhammed Bello Abubakar as well as some Nigerian private ICT entrepreneurs, the minister expressed delight in the highest number of startups at the 2022 GITEX.

“We have recorded significant milestones and great accomplishments in our bid to drive Nigeria’s economy digitally and our modest successes are verifiable. The federal government, in the last three years launched several programmes, policies and initiatives that are entrenching the trust between the tech ecosystem and the government towards strengthening the Nigerian digital economy sector,” he averred.

The director general of NITDA Kashifu Inuwa also shared same sentiment with the minister as he noted that the Nigerian team will ace the competition and once again place the country on the global map, while urging urged the tech innovators to ensure they also learn, unlearn and relearn by participating in other sideline events and conferences in order to build the necessary networks to add value to their craft.

GITEX Global 2022 is a meeting point for technology professionals and enthusiasts. The event is a thrust for the Global Startup Movement attracting world’s biggest technology mentors, angel investors and venture capitalists.

Nigerian startups will be showcasing their innovative ideas to the world, interacting with other startups from different parts of Asia, Africa and Europe; luring investors to come to Nigeria and invest money in the country’s fast growing Digital economy.
