Nigeria's Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has announced his withdrawal from the race to become the Deputy Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). In a statement on his LinkedIn page, Tijani revealed that he made the decision following "careful consideration" to concentrate on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's transformative agenda for the country.
By choosing to step down from the opportunity, Tijani aims to prioritize his responsibilities entrusted to him by President Tinubu within Nigeria's digital economy.
