“As Nigeria moves into a more technology-driven world, NITDA adds, “Blockchain has emerged as a transformative force that offers unique benefits to various sectors. This National Blockchain Policy for Nigeria has identified talent development, innovation, and adoption as the key areas to harness the potential of Blockchain Technology in Nigeria. The Policy aims to grow domestic talent in Blockchain solutions development, foster innovation, and catalyse the adoption and use of Blockchain Technology.”

Mrs Umar says that NITDA has been at the forefront of driving and facilitating the spread and use of blockchain technology, through its various activities including capacity development, and awareness carried out during the Blockchain Day at the Digital Nigeria Day celebration, in October 2022.  

Furthermore, she says, “NITDA has trained over 30,000 young Nigerians in the field of Blockchain for the development of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce in the industry. This will equip the Nigerian youths with the ability to utilise Blockchain Technology in developing innovative solutions to our National challenges.”
