The Bank of Industry (BoI), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) have joined forces to promote digital literacy in Nigeria.
At the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (iDICE) stakeholders’ forum in Lagos, BoI’s Managing Director, Olasupo Olusi, highlighted the importance of enhancing productivity in Nigeria’s economy, especially with the growing youth population and urbanization. He emphasized that the digital and creative sector is integral to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic transformation plan, as it contributes significantly to employment generation and poverty reduction.
Through initiatives like the iDICE program, the BoI aims to support entrepreneurs in the digital and creative space by providing tailored financing and infrastructure. Olusi expressed confidence that collective efforts in this program will contribute to creating more job opportunities, reducing poverty, and improving living standards in Nigeria.
