These pillars outline our approach for the development of the digital
economy. The Developmental Regulation pillar provides support
for the effective regulation of the digital technology sector in a way
that fosters development, rather than stifles it.

@DrIsaPantami

The digital literacy & skills pillar recognises the fact that citizens
are the greatest assets in any economy, including the digital economy.

It will support the development of a large pool of digitally literate
& digitally skilled citizens.

We recently provided a platform, DigitalNigeria.gov.ng, to enable Nigerians to receive training
in diverse digital skills. Over 36,000 Nigerians have enrolled so far. We are championing a paradigm change that lays emphasis on skills;

The Solid Infrastructure pillar addresses the need to provide broadband access and data centres required to enable citizens to access the digital solutions that characterize the digital economy.

The Digital Services Development and Promotion pillar aims to drive
the growth in the number of digital jobs and digital entrepreneurs
in the country.
