The Federal Government has urged leaders of information and communication technology agencies and professionals in the sector to establish a robust standard framework fostering IT solutions in support of the government, private sector, and society.
This directive was articulated in a statement on Monday by Ekaete Umo, Head of the Press and Public Relations Unit of the ministry.
Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, issued this charge during the National Council on ICT in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies held in Abuja.
In his keynote address, Tijani emphasized the pivotal role of technology as the foundation of economic competitiveness and its substantial contribution to solving various societal challenges. “Any government lacking technology and not prioritizing its applications cannot effectively serve its people,” he stated.
Highlighting the interdependence of government and technology, Tijani noted that without appropriate technology usage, the private sector’s operational efficiency would be compromised.
He urged council members to recognize their crucial roles in contributing to the future of Nigeria and the vision of a better country. Tijani emphasized the President’s aspiration for a developed Nigeria with inclusive growth, emphasizing that the success of the country and its ministries hinges on the effective understanding of their roles by ICT drivers.
