  "summary": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to attract $750 million in private investment for local cloud and data infrastructure over the next two years, alongside the construction of a 90,000-kilometre fibre optic network. The announcement was made by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, at the GITEX 2026 Government Leadership & AI Summit in Abuja. The initiatives are part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's strategy to transform Nigeria from a technology consumer to a global exporter of digital solutions. The new National Digital Cloud Policy aims to position Nigeria as a competitive location for cloud and data services not only within West Africa and Africa but also globally.",
