Dr. Pantami, speaking about the National Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship Policy said:

“These are the two elements that will make the country a producing nation instead of a consuming nation. It is because of this, I feel this is the right time to work on the National Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship policy.”

Director-General of National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA) Mallam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, said :

“We have seen an IDE (Jumia) that created more than 5,000 direct jobs and grew to more than 1B USD valuation within three years. Boston Consulting Group projected that by 2025, Jumia and other potential unicorn companies could create more than three million jobs in Africa.

“In line with this, the objective of the policy produced is to help institutionalized digital entrepreneurship in our country in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s economic diversification agenda.”
