The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim (Pantami) has pointed out that digital innovations and entrepreneurship are key to developing the digital economy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He stated this during the Ministerial retreat organized by the Ministry for directorate cadre staff. The theme of the retreat is \u201cPerformance Improvement and Service Delivery in the Era of Digital Economy\u201d held at the Digital Economy complex, Mbora, Abuja from November 16-17, 2020.<\/p>\n

He said digital innovation and entrepreneurship are two prerequisites for developing indigenous digital economy and charged the staff to challenge citizens to come up with innovative ideas that would proffer solutions to societal problems.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201ctoday we are a consuming nation and our economy will continue to suffer as long as we fail to integrate production in every sector of the economy. As a nation, we must excel in manufacturing and production, which is the way forward. Our day to day activities is to promote digital entrepreneurship and our target is to transform Nigeria into a leading digital economy\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Pantami said that the Ministry involved stakeholders in the ICT sector, political parties, governors, traditional institutions, and religious leaders in developing digital policies for the nation adding that the policies are not about the present administration but long-time policies for the nation which would outlive the administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t think about the current administration in developing policies but our focus is about the country. We inherited documents from the previous administration which we implemented; we will also leave for the incoming administration because government is a continuum\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Minister stated that leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of individuals to influence and guide followers or members of an organization to achieve specific goals.<\/p>
