Bosun Tijani, the minister of communications, innovation and digital economy, has released a 31-page document for the ministry.

Titled: “Accelerating our collective prosperity through technical efficiency”, the minister said the plan will serve as a “critical launchpad towards a Nigeria that thrives in the digital age”.

He added that it is designed in line with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.

The document comes weeks after the minister released an 867-word white paper outlining the methodology of his ministry’s collaborative agenda for AI governance in the country.

Since his confirmation as minister, stakeholders have quizzed Tijani on his plans for the nation’s ICT sector.

In the preface, the minister noted that the blueprint highlights the power of digital technology and innovation.

He said the document is “the first draft” and called on stakeholders in relevant industries to contribute to the future of the nation’s digital technology.

“Our objective with this document is not just to inform, but to reimagine and reintroduce a new way of doing things with efforts to drive equity through a culture of openness and accountability,” the document reads.

“These pillars [knowledge, policy, infrastructure, innovation, entrepreneurship & capital and trade] form a guiding framework for our transformative journey and we are confident in the strength of our collective commitment to deliver on these plans towards a more prosperous and inclusive Nigeria.”
