Inuwa revealed that the agency’s vision is to transform Nigeria into a digitally empowered nation, driving inclusive economic growth through technological innovation, noting that NITDA has restructured, updated its systems, and relaunched its strategy to align more closely with the federal government’s vision and the goals of its supervising ministry.

While speaking on the implementation of SRAP 2.0, Inuwa stressed the importance of adapting to the rapidly evolving global digital landscape which has shaped economies worldwide and opined that NITDA is positioning Nigeria to be at the forefront of digital transformation.

Noting that bridging digital gaps, gender imbalance and accommodating people living with special needs as critical cornerstones in all the agency’s initiatives towards building inclusiveness, Inuwa sought collaborations and partnerships in supporting 6 indigenous tech events in the country to global relevance.

I implore you all to join us to create a new digital future for Nigeria,” the NITDA DG said.
