President Bola Tinubu has given assurance that the federal government would continue to prioritise the development of the digital economy to enhance youth empowerment and job creation.
This comes as the Federal Ministry of Works (FMoW) and the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy (FMoCIDE) have established a joint standing committee on the protection of fiber optic cables.
This is to address the persistent issue of cable cuts and subsequent internet disruptions caused by the damage during road construction and rehabilitation activities across the country.
President Tinubu made the pledge yesterday, at the State House, Abuja while receiving a report titled, “Digital Economy, Youth Empowerment and Sustainable Job Creation in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities.”
The report was presented by participants of the Senior Executive Course 46 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.
The 96 participants also recommended that the President issue an Executive Order mandating all MDAs to migrate to the OneGov.ng portal.
