The Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Mallam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, has called on Nigerian youth to take the lead in driving Africa’s digital transformation, describing them as the nation’s greatest asset for sustainable development and global competitiveness.
Speaking at the opening of the Digital Nigeria International Conference and Exhibition 2025, held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, Abdullahi said the participation of the Vice President underscored the Federal Government’s commitment to empowering young Nigerians and positioning them at the forefront of innovation.
Organised by NITDA, the three-day conference serves as a platform for collaboration between government, academia, and industry leaders to shape policies, explore emerging technologies, and accelerate digital inclusion across the continent.
The 2025 theme, “Innovation for a Sustainable Digital Future: Accelerating Growth, Inclusion, and Global Competitiveness,” aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises economic diversification through digitalisation, industrialisation, and innovation.
Abdullahi emphasised that with a population exceeding 220 million and an average age of 18, Nigeria stands at a defining moment that could either propel the continent into prosperity or deepen inequality if its youth potential remains untapped.
“If we harness the energy, creativity, and talent of our youth, we can power not just Nigeria but the entire African continent into a new era of prosperity. But if we fail to skill and empower them, we risk losing our most valuable national asset,” he said.
According to the NITDA DG, this year’s conference attracted over 4,800 participants from 12 countries and 25 Nigerian states, making it a truly pan-African platform for innovation, policy dialogue, and investment.
The event features 12 keynote sessions, 23 panel discussions, five workshops, and two expert masterclasses across five thematic tracks — digital connectivity, digital public infrastructure and trust, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, digital trade and innovation, and digital skills and literacy.
Abdullahi urged participants to use the conference as a springboard for real impact, not just conversation.
“Every handshake, every dialogue, and every deal made here should be driven by one conviction: Nigeria can do it, and we will do it,” he declared.
The Digital Nigeria Conference remains one of the nation’s most strategic gatherings for fostering public–private collaboration and advancing the country’s journey toward a sustainable, inclusive, and competitive digital economy.
