infrastructure and services to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s internal capacity to build, manage, and benefit from AI technologies locally, and<\/li>\n<li><em>Building a Stronger Digital Economy:<\/em> Driving long-term economic growth through strategic global partnerships, technology transfer, innovation, and digital capacity development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also noted that this international collaboration directly aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s vision to grow Nigeria into a $1 trillion economy by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The agency emphasised that such a lofty ambition is anchored by innovation, digital technology, and human capital development.<\/p>\n<p>NITDA noted that by forging key global ties, it continues to position Nigeria as a rising leader in the digital economy while ensuring that emerging tools like AI deliver real, tangible value for local citizens and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*The National
