Federal Government Urges ICT Leaders to Spearhead Innovative Solutions

The Federal Government has called upon heads of information and communication technology agencies, along with professionals in the sector, to collaborate in crafting an effective standard framework.

This framework aims to usher in IT solutions that will bolster support for the government, private sector, and society at large.

Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, emphasized the pivotal role of technology as the cornerstone of economic competitiveness.

He stressed its significant contribution to addressing various societal challenges and highlighted the imperative for any government to prioritize technology applications for effective service delivery.

“Any government without technology and without prioritizing the applications of technology cannot provide service to its people in an effective way,” noted Tijani during the National Council on ICT in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies held in Abuja.

Moreover, Tijani underscored the symbiotic relationship between the government’s adept use of technology and the optimal functioning of the private sector.

He urged council members to recognize their pivotal roles, emphasizing that the future of Nigeria’s development and aspirations for inclusive growth hinge on their collective efforts within their respective organizations.

“The interest and desire of the president are to see a Nigeria that is developed and having inclusive growth,” stated Tijani, emphasizing the crucial understanding of roles by ICT drivers for the success of the country and its various ministries.
