The digital economy in Nigeria is rapidly growing, driven by increased internet and smartphone penetration. eCommerce, digital payments, fintech, content creation, and streaming via OTT platforms are among the key areas of growth in the country.

Overview of the summit

The Nigerian government has also been promoting the development of the digital economy through initiatives such as the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy. However, numerous challenges remain, including inadequate infrastructure, low levels of digital literacy, and in some cases a lack of synergy in policy implementations across different tiers of government. Despite these challenges, the potential for growth in Nigeria’s digital economy remains significant, as evidenced by the influx of investments from global players into the country’s IT and connectivity space.
