The Lagos State Commissioner for Innovation, Science, and Technology, Olatunbosun Alake, has stated that the state plans to increase the contribution of Information and Communication Technology to its economy by 100 per cent by 2030.
He disclosed this on Thursday in Lagos at the Art of Technology Lagos 7.0, which had the theme “Future Technologies and Sustainable Lagos.”
“We want to increase the share of IT and innovation’s contribution to Lagos’s economy. By 2030, the figure that is missing here is 100 per cent. And so, the share of Lagos’s economy today that IT sells, we want to increase by 100 per cent.
“We want to drive an increase in invention and scientific research activity by about 50 per cent to solve Lagos’s challenges. That means Lagos is the place to solve it. And we want to make Lagos a major technology hub in the world by 2030. I think we can achieve this,” he asserted.
