ICT experts have tasked the Nigerian government to prioritise the provision of infrastructure so as to position the country to massively reap the benefits of a digital economy as obtained in some developed nations of the world.
The experts who made the call at the NITRA ICT Growth Conference 2.0, in Lagos, were of the consensus that the provision of infrastructure remained Nigeria’s surest pathway to building a robust digital economy.
Themed ‘Creating a Digital Ecosystem in Nigeria: The Hurdles, The Gains,’ the panellists drawn from both the public and private sector establishments, stated that efforts at building Nigeria’s digital economy cannot yield the much-desired fruit, unless there is sustained commitment on the part of the government to prioritise the provision of infrastructure.
