  • NITRA is an umbrella body for technology journalists in Nigeria

The Nigeria Information Technology Reporters’ Association (NITRA), an umbrella body for journalists in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, has felicitated the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani over his appointment.

In a letter to the Minister, the Chairman of NITRA, Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi noted that the news of his appointment was a cheery one knowing his antecedent to deliver viable results in past endeavours.

“We have followed your steps in the ICT industry and are assured that without doubt, this is another position that you will make a great deal of impact.

“You are not new in creative, developmental, and managerial affairs, but have been an active participant in decision-making and growth plans for the nation, hence our repose of trust in what you can do as the Minister of this expanded Ministry,” he enthused.

Onwuegbuchi further stated in the Association’s letter to the Minister, that NITRA is willing to work with his Ministry to ensure the achievement of set goals and assured that NITRA is on standby for any collaboration that will guarantee the success of Dr. Tijani’s endeavours as the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy.

“We hope to work together to develop the industry and make the Ministry a reference point in the minds of Nigerians both at home and abroad,” he assured.

Onwuegbuchi further expressed the hope that the Minister will maintain the upward trajectory of ICTs’ contributions to the GDP, advising that his focus should be on leveraging ICT to transform Nigeria into a fully digital economy.

Recall that Nigeria’s ICT sector contributed a significant 17.47% to Nigeria’s GDP (Real Gross Domestic Product) in the first quarter of 2023, according to the latest statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

The Nigeria Information Technology Reporters’ Association (NITRA) is the umbrella body for ICT reporters and editors with its membership drawn across Print, Broadcast, and Online media organisations across the country.

With its Quarterly and Annual events, which include ‘Breakfast With CEOs’; ‘NITRA Innovative Forum’; ‘NITRA Technology Forum’, among others, the Association has been able to drive conversations on the development of the ICT subsector and the industry as a whole.
