“Mr. Inyene Ibanga discusses how digital innovation leads to economic prosperity in Nigeria, and he captures some of the key initiatives of the federal ministry of communications and digital economy.”
The minister stressed that the shift from the traditional economy to the digitalized one has been boosting the wealth of the country and others around the world.
Pantami expressed excitement that well-thought policies, initiatives, and utilization of digital innovation engineered positive results.
Book reviewer and veteran journalist, Yushau Shuaib said the book contained eights chapters with forty topics.
He said:
“The chapters include enhancing start-ups, strengthening innovative solutions, managing data for productivity, protecting cybersecurity, accessing e-learning, promoting digital inclusion, transforming the way of doing things, and advancing the digital economy.”
Recall that Pantami recently declared that the federal ministry of communications and digital economy under his watch has generated N1.054 trillion as revenue for the federal government in two years.
According to him, the digital economy sector played a huge role in lifting Nigeria out of recession.
He added that the ICT sector recorded the highest growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Pantami had earlier bagged the most outstanding minister of the year 2021 award presented by Elite Exclusive magazine.
The organisers say the minister of communications and digital economy was singled out for the honour based on an online poll it conducted.
The award according to the magazine was in recognition of the exceptional role the minister is playing in sustaining ICT's exponential growth, digitization of Nigeria's emerging economy, and also positioning Nigeria’s digital economy sector on the path of sustainable national development.
