President Bola Tinubu’s administration says that Nigeria’s economic vision is to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2026.
This national economic vision “is within our reach, thanks to the digital economy which has transformed our daily lives and opened new pathways for economic growth,” Dr. Salihu Dasuki, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Policy says while announcing plans for the upcoming workshop on African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Digital Trade Protocol.
The State House says that Vice President Kashim Shettima will lead the pivotal workshop aimed at integrating Nigeria more effectively within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Digital Trade Protocol.
The event, government says, is a critical component of the Federal Government’s “Digital Trade in Nigeria: The Renewed Hope Strategy.”
The workshop, which was organised by the Office of the Vice President, aims to bring together key players from both the public and private sectors. The goal is to develop strategic approaches that leverage digital technologies to enhance Nigeria’s trade landscape and promote regional integration.
Dasuki, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Policy, who emphasises the event’s role in driving economic transformation says “the workshop signifies a shared commitment to advancing Nigeria’s trade landscape through the power of digital technology and regional integration under the AfCFTA.”
“We aim to identify key opportunities for enhancing Nigeria’s digital trade within the AfCFTA framework. We will discuss effective strategies for leveraging digital technologies to drive economic growth and support livelihoods.”
The goal is to uncover significant opportunities to advance Nigeria’s digital trade within the AfCFTA framework, he adds noting that discussions will focus on effective strategies for utilising digital technologies to stimulate economic growth and improve livelihoods.
