Nigeria looks forward to becoming one of the leading economies in the world, and ICT development is one of the strong pillars to the nation’s plan in fulfilling this dream. To unleash Nigeria’s potential for industrialisation and sustainable economic growth, and to ensure competitiveness in a global digital economy, the government has said it will take measures to digitise the economy and make digitalisation a key driver of national economic development strategies. The government will ensure that, by 2025, critical digitisation challenges are addressed so that the sector can achieve its job creation and economic productivity potential. To achieve this, the Federal Government, in the National Development Plan (NDP) 2021 to 2025, Volume 1, has projected about N150 billion investments.

In addition, the government said the ICT sector is projected to facilitate the formation of up to $1 billion in private equity and private capital investments in digital infrastructure of approximately $40 billion.

The document noted that despite recent improvements in Nigeria’s ICT sector, several challenges, including low funding and weak digital infrastructure, especially in non-commercial hubs, have limited the value-creation potential of businesses. Others are low skills development due to skills mismatch between academia and industry, leading to a shortage of workers with digital skills; new risks associated with data privacy and cybersecurity challenges.(Source: https://guardian.ng/business-services/fg-seeks-n150b-investment-in-ict-sector-by-2025)

Thus, to create high-growth businesses, including unicorns and maximize job creation opportunities, the digital economy building blocks are of strategic importance and priority.
