VP @ProfOsinbajo: We’re dealing with uncharted territory re regulation, regulatory authorities facing new scenarios. Public-private collaborative effort helped craft new regulations creating space for payment licenses for non-deposit-money-bank institutions #PYOFacebook

VP @ProfOsinbajo: @cenbank and @BOINigeria have launched new Tech Funds. @NigeriaGov working with @AfDB_Group as well, to tap into available Funding to support tech and digital initiatives. #PYOFacebook #DigitalEconNG

VP @ProfOsinbajo: We have to find ways to regulate without stifling. Work has started around taking a second look at the NBC code, for example. I understand the arguments of those who don’t agree with it; all sides must be considered #PYOFacebook #DigitalEconNG

VP: We’re a Federation, so States have considerable autonomy regarding devpt control—like RoW for fiber optic cables. I chair NEC, a gathering of State Govs, & we’ve agreed States will not charge more than N145/meter for RoW charges. Some States have even gone down to zero Naira.

Sir @nick_clegg: Facebook has partnered with @Mainoneservice to deploy 750km of fiber optic connectivity in two Nigerian States (Edo and Ogun)
