According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector grew by 11.0% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, underscoring its expanding role in the country's economy. Yet, for millions of Nigerians, meaningful participation in that growth remains limited by gaps in digital access, infrastructure, and opportunity.
Against this backdrop, we participated in the NITRA Innovative & Scientific Conference 2026 last Thursday. The conference brought together policymakers, regulators, technology leaders, ICT journalists, and industry experts to examine how scientific innovation can help bridge Nigeria's digital divide.
From digital infrastructure and telecommunications to artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech, and public policy, one idea emerged consistently: expanding digital access requires more than technology. It calls for coordinated investment, enabling policies, strong institutions, and sustained collaboration across the public and private sectors.
At Zenera Consulting, we believe these conversations matter because they shape the ideas, partnerships, and policies that influence industries and contribute to national development. We were proud to participate in the dialogue.
