The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to establish 200 digital technology hubs in rural communities across the six geopolitical zones in the country. This initiative, announced by Mr. Tokoni Igoin, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation, aims to accelerate business growth and diversification through modern technology.
These digital hubs will function as state-of-the-art innovation centers, offering co-working spaces, incubation programs, mentorship, and workshops. The goal is to empower start-ups, entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and individuals with disabilities by providing access to resources that foster creativity, skill development, and entrepreneurship.
This initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes the development of the ICT sector and other critical areas of the Nigerian economy. By establishing these digital hubs, the government seeks to reduce unemployment, poverty, and social vices by fostering innovation, building capacity, and creating pathways for sustainable development.
