The Digital Nigeria Programme was launched in March 2020 to empower innovators and entrepreneurs with the skills required to thrive in the emerging digital economy. The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy partnered with a number of institutions to enable Nigerians acquire cutting edge digital skills within the comfort of their homes. As at the second quarter of 2022, ICT had contributed 18.44 per cent to Nigeria’s GDP, making it the fastest revenue generator in the Nigerian economy. Digital and high tech savvy Nigerians had grabbed the opportunity and delved into the multi billion dollar industry, setting up businesses and creating jobs.
