President Bola Tinubu has transitioned Nigeria's Digital Free Zones initiative into the implementation phase, with the goal of attracting global investment, creating jobs, and keeping Nigerian technology companies and intellectual property within the country. The President has tasked Minister of Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, to collaborate with the Itana Innovation project and the Presidential Steering Committee on Digital Free Zones to create a roadmap for the full launch within 180 days.
The initiative aims to facilitate easier access to global capital for Nigerian technology and service companies, allowing them to employ Nigerians and build for international markets without relocating their operations abroad. Tinubu emphasized that Nigeria possesses the talent, enterprise, and ambition to build globally competitive companies, and the government's role is to ensure that Nigerians do not need to leave the country to realize their potential.
