Managers from the NITDA participated in the session, which focused on the role of blockchain technology in building Nigeria’s digital economy.

She commended Mara for sharing valuable knowledge that will empower NITDA to explore the potentials of blockchain in organisational processes, projects, and regulatory frameworks. Ms. Umar acknowledged Mara’s dedication and collaborative efforts with the government and other stakeholders to drive blockchain technology in Nigeria.

According to her, “Mara, as one of the blockchain stakeholders in Nigeria, through this initiative have proven to be great supporter of driving the Nigeria digital economy agenda and we at NITDA are excited to be partners and beneficiaries of their laudable initiatives. We are convinced that by collaborating with government and other stakeholders within the space, the full adoption of blockchain technology in Nigeria is not far fetched.”
