The DSHub DG noted that the National Digital Policy is commendable and needs improved and supportive implementation. “Actualisation of the establishment of a National Digital Transformation Day is a core and strategic vehicle for the advocacy and propagation of the diffusion of the national digital agenda into the 774 Local Government Areas,” he stated. “Although, Nigeria still has serious challenges in telecoms infrastructure provision, 5G offers huge potential for new unexplored growth areas. “The recent draft Executive Order declaring telecommunications infrastructure ‘a Critical National Infrastructure’ is a welcome development. Efforts need to be intensified with the National Assembly members to facilitate the passage of a bill to make telecoms infrastructure a critical national infrastructure that must be protected by law,” he stated.
