The National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy has been developed to reposition the Nigerian Economy to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that digital technologies provide. This is in line with the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) to diversify the economy of Nigeria away from dependence on the Oil and Gas Sector. The growth of the Digital Technology Sector over the past few years is a good indication that this sector can serve as a catalyst for the rapid development of the economy. His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) approved the re-designation of the Federal Ministry of Communications as the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy (FMoCDE) on the 17th of October, 2019.
