Nigeria would soon become a trillion-dollar economy notwithstanding the initial difficulties, the Minister of Communications, Innovations and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, said yesterday.
Tijani said Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would increase substantially within the next two years, with 21 per cent of the increment coming from the information and communications technology sector (ICT).
He assured that Nigeria would savour prosperity within the next few months.
Tijani and his Youth Affairs counterpart, Ayodele Olawande, spoke at the Public Servant Training Institute, Kubwa, Abuja, during the commencement of the training programmes for 500 Data Protection Officers (DPOs) for the National Certification for Data Protection, Nigeria and West Africa.
Tijani said the administration is investing in the ICT sector as a major driver of the national economy, with specific attention to the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital transformation of government services, connecting the citizens with digital medical services and infrastructures and promoting entrepreneurship and innovations.
