Those who spoke at the second edition of the formative dialogue for the digital transformation programme expressed worry that Nigeria’s broadband connectivity expansion still stands at about 40% implying that millions of people particularly the vulnerable groups and communities are still left behind.

The digital inclusion Programme seeks to bridge the gap in digital access for disadvantaged people and ensure that those who need digital tools to improve their businesses have access to the tools they need. The UK government is also offering support for Nigeria’s digital Economy growth.

Tagged “Inclusive Digital Transformation through the Digital Access Programme”, the Lagos edition supported by the foreign commonwealth and development office brought together government officials, ICT professionals, digital inclusion startups as well as Corporate organisations on the digital space.
