It’s national duty to support made-in-Nigeria goods, digital infrastructure – Taiwo Oyedele

Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele emphasized the importance of supporting made-in-Nigeria goods and services, particularly digital infrastructure, during a visit to Galaxy Backbone in Abuja. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to promoting made-in-Nigeria goods and services, and Oyedele highlighted the government's priority on the digital economy.

Supporting made-in-Nigeria infrastructure is not only cost-effective but also offers better quality, according to Oyedele. Both public and private investors should prioritize purchasing made-in-Nigeria digital infrastructure and services to drive economic growth. Digital infrastructure is crucial for the country's digital economy and can significantly improve patronage of Nigerian products and services.

Galaxy Backbone's Managing Director, Prof Ibrahim Adeyanju, echoed Oyedele's sentiments, stating that sustained investment in digital infrastructure is necessary for both government and private sectors to upscale their operations. Adeyanju emphasized the importance of connectivity and secure digital infrastructure for businesses to scale and for innovation, artificial intelligence, and the digital economy to thrive.
