Nigeria’s national digital economy policy and strategy (2020 – 2030)

The National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy has been developed to reposition the Nigerian Economy in order to take advantage of the many opportunities that digital technologies provide. This is in line with the vision to diversify Nigeria’s economy and keep it 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.

This Digital Economy Policy and Strategy document is based on the (Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy) FMoCDE’s 8 pillars for the acceleration of the National Digital Economy for a Digital Nigeria. The 8 pillars are:

1. Developmental Regulation;

2. Digital Literacy & Skills;

3. Solid Infrastructure;

4. Service Infrastructure;

5. Digital Services Development & Promotion;

6. Soft Infrastructure;

7. Digital Society & Emerging Technologies; and

8. Indigenous Content Development & Adoption.

These pillars align well with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the Federal Government.

VISION
‘To transform Nigeria into a leading digital economy providing quality life and digital
economies for all.’

MISSION
We build a nation where digital innovation and entrepreneurship are used to create
value and prosperity for all.
