The NCC boss said this at the third edition of the annual ICT Innovation Competition and Exhibition, held at the digital bridge institute, Oshodi, Lagos, themed: “Utilizing Indigenous Digital Solutions to Bridge the Digital Divide.”
Danbatta who was represented by the Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, NCC, Engr. Ubale Maska thinks that one of the key challenges that we face in the ICT sector is the lack of locally produced content, and this can be a barrier to the adoption of digital technologies, as it means that users often have to rely on foreign-produced content, which may not always be relevant or appropriate for the local context.
He added that ICT sector has the potential to play a significant role in bridging the digital divide and driving economic development in Nigeria. It can do so by providing access to digital technologies and services, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, and creating Jobs.
