Back to About Us > #WeekInReview: Full Week Recap of Activities of the Honourable Minister, Dr. ‘Bosun Tijani (Vol. 59)
INTRO
In the week under review, the Honourable Minister took a trip to Sweden with Vice President Kashim Shettima and other government officials from Nigeria to explore opportunities for partnership and investment in innovation and technology for the growth of our digital economy.
Sweden is of strategic importance to Nigeria, especially in the area of technology startups and innovation.
KEY FOCUS
Innovation & Trade: As part of Nigeria’s efforts to promote trade expansion, deepen strategic partnerships, and build on ongoing engagements with key nations across the world, the Honourable Minister joined Vice President Kashim Shettima in a range of official engagements in Sweden geared at deepening our trade relationship with the Scandinavian nation and leveraging on technology and innovation towards achieving shared prosperity.
Infrastructure: With infrastructure being one of the key pillars of the Ministry’s Strategic Blueprint, we received Cisco and Ericsson’s commitment to set up a Cybersecurity and Broadband Lab and 5G Innovation Lab respectively in Nigeria. This development validates our collaborative approach towards accelerating our digital economy for the benefit of Nigerians.
We acknowledge and encourage gestures such as that of IHS Towers to undertake the complete refurbishment of the vandalised Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Digital Innovation Park in Kano.
