The European Union (EU) under its Gateway Initiative has disclosed plans to invest about Eight Hundred and Twenty Million Euros in the Nigerian Digital Economy sector over the next three years.

Margrethe Vestager, the Executive Vice President of the European Union disclosed this today Monday, 14th February 2022 during a working visit to Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami), the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, at the Digital Economy Complex in Abuja.

According to Uwa Suleiman, spokesperson to Pantami, Vestager while extolling the exemplary leadership style of the Minister, noted that the need for stronger partnerships has brought global attention to the country’s Digital Economy sector.

She enumerated the Union’s intervention in the sector to include; Digital Infrastructure Investments, Digitalisation of Public Services, Digital Entrepreneurship, Digital Skills and Digital Governance.

“Nigeria has immense potential for digitalization and  with a combination of One Hundred and Sixty Million Euros in grants and Six Hundred and Sixty Million Euros in loans, the European Union aims to comprehensively support Nigeria’s digitalization strategy” she emphasized.

In his response, Pantami while expressing his delight and appreciation for the intervention reiterated the Federal Government’s willingness to partner with the European Union. “Africa has always looked up to Europe in the area of technological advancements and this partnership is a welcome development that will project the digitalization aspirations of our country.

Pantami was particular about digital entrepreneurship and the immense impact it will bring to bear on the nation’s economy.

“This partnership with regards to digital entrepreneurship, will address the challenge of unemployment and un-employability alongside the Nigeria Startup Bill which also aims to address a myriad of issues within the ecosystem.”

The Minister further informed the delegation that Nigeria hopes to achieve the paperless office by the year 2030 and it is on track, taking into cognizance the rate at which public institutions are embracing the digital economy drive.

The European Union intervention is in alignment with the Nigeria Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS), a digital roadmap initiated and championed by Pantami towards the economic digitalization drive of President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR).
