…within two years of Kashifu’s foresight and guidance…NITDA is not leaving anything to chance in its determination to drive Nigeria towards a digital world as it relentless explores the use and adoption of Blockchain Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, data management and strategy for adoption into the digital economy.
In line with the Act of Parliament, NITDA is assiduously pursuing implementation of its wide-ranging mandate through strategic and inclusive stakeholder management, local and international partnership, and efficient utilisation of resources in the interest of Nigeria. August remains a special month for NITDA’s current management team because it marks Kashifu’s second year of piloting the affairs of Nigeria’s IT sector regulatory agency. It is expected that the agency will take advantage of this auspicious period to showcase its achievements and, where necessary the challenges, so far.
Since assuming office two years ago, Kashifu has seen to the development and expansion of the tech ecosystem into communities, schools, and innovation driven enterprises , thereby providing opportunity for various sectors of the economy to leverage technology to transform business models, enhance productivity and efficiency, while also creating jobs and wealth for operators.
Furthermore, the PKI will enhance e-government and digital economy transformations through secure data exchanges and authentication for electronic transactions protection by the banking sector and its regulator, the Central Bank of Nigeria . In what could best be described as its most ambitious programme yet, NITDA has set up the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics as a special facility for the promotion of research and development on emerging technologies and their practical application by providing solutions to Nigeria’s domestic problems.
Still within that, NITDA set up three IT hubs, four innovation and incubation parks, six IT community centres and three IT capacity-building centres in higher institutions of learning, as well as in unserved and underserved communities across the country.
