“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.
