President BOLA TINUBU has declared that Nigeria is set to harness the potential of its youthful population to transform into a global digital economy powerhouse.

This was the submission made by President TINUBU who was represented by Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA at the meeting of African Heads of State and Government on the 21st Replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA21) in Nairobi.

This is just as African Heads of State and Government committed countries on the continent to strengthen implementation capacities, mobilising domestic resources, and partnering effectively with IDA to accelerate the continent’s economic transformation.

President TINUBU reiterated Nigeria’s plans to build a vast digital market capable of absorbing cutting-edge innovations and technologies, positioning the country as a hub for outsourcing talent in the digital and creative economy spheres.

He also stressed the importance of regional economic integration through instruments like the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement to dismantle investment barriers and facilitate access to international markets.
