The Federal Government has renewed its resolve to position technology as a major engine of national growth, with the Minister of Communications, Innovations and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, affirming that the push toward a $1 trillion digital economy remains a central objective of the Tinubu administration.
According to the minister, the ambition is not a slogan but a carefully mapped commitment anchored on long-term planning, innovation and inclusive economic participation.
Tijani said the administration has remained deliberate in its approach, stressing that clarity and consistency continue to guide policies aimed at expanding opportunities for Nigerians across the digital ecosystem.
He noted that the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is rooted in the pursuit of shared prosperity, where technology-driven growth translates into jobs, productivity and sustainable wealth creation.
The minister explained that strengthening digital infrastructure, encouraging innovation and empowering young Nigerians with relevant skills form the backbone of the government’s strategy to unlock economic expansion.
He added that the journey toward a $1 trillion economy requires collective effort from government, the private sector and innovators, insisting that the administration remains firmly committed to creating an enabling environment for digital transformation.
Observers say the renewed assurance underscores the government’s belief that Nigeria’s future economic competitiveness will largely depend on how effectively it harnesses innovation and digital technologies.
