The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, stated this during a tech event themed; Invest in Africa’s Future- Let’s talk about exits- a joint initiative by the Ministry, NGX, and Future Africa in New York, supported by Stanbic IBTC, CardinalStone Partners and Chapel Hill Denham on Thursday, 21 September 2023.
Tijani noted that Nigeria had been grappling with its over dependence on oil in the last few years, adding that diversifying from heavy reliance on a single sector like the oil industry often requires increasing productivity in other sectors. According to him, this can be achieved through the application of technology and innovation, something the current leadership of President Bola Tinubu is particular about.
