The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) hails President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for championing Nigeria\u2019s ongoing technological renaissance – a bold and deliberate revolution that is fast transforming the country into Africa\u2019s uncontested digital powerhouse.<\/p>\n
True to his lifelong commitment to visionary governance and innovation, President Tinubu is building on the same foundation he laid as Governor of Lagos State, where he first deployed technology to modernize governance, reform revenue generation, and enhance service delivery. Today, that legacy has evolved into a national digital masterplan driving growth, innovation, and youth empowerment.<\/p>\n
Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, Nigeria\u2019s tech ecosystem has witnessed a surge in both activity and global recognition. The administration\u2019s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) Programme, implemented under the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, is equipping young Nigerians with essential digital skills – coding, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence – ensuring that our youths are not just job seekers but global competitors.<\/p>\n
President Tinubu\u2019s broadband expansion policy, which aims to achieve 70% penetration by 2025, is already connecting millions in rural and urban communities to the digital economy. The administration\u2019s focus on the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, the Digital Public Infrastructure Initiative, and the Nigeria Startup Act implementation has created a framework that enables innovation to flourish.<\/p>\n
Concrete results are evident. Nigeria\u2019s fintech sector, led by global brands such as Flutterwave, Paystack, and Moniepoint, continues to dominate Africa\u2019s financial technology space. Local startups like Andela, Interswitch, and Kuda have become symbols of Nigerian ingenuity, attracting billions of dollars in foreign investment. The growth of tech hubs in Lagos, Abuja, and Kaduna, and the government\u2019s direct collaboration with Google, Microsoft, and Meta for youth training and digital innovation, underscore Nigeria\u2019s new global relevance.<\/p>\n
Beyond private innovation, government-driven initiatives are reshaping public administration. The adoption of digital ID systems, online business registration, e-taxation, and e-governance reforms across ministries, departments, and agencies reflect a government that is embracing efficiency, transparency, and accountability.<\/p>\n
These deliberate interventions are no accident – they are the product of President Tinubu\u2019s strategic vision to diversify Nigeria\u2019s economy and reduce dependence on oil through knowledge-driven growth. It is this courage to think ahead and act decisively that separates him from opposition leaders who remain stuck in analog politics while Tinubu is busy building a digital future.<\/p>\n
Lagos APC is proud that the President\u2019s tech revolution draws directly from the Lagos model, where technology transformed governance, expanded the tax net, and made the state Nigeria\u2019s undisputed economic hub. That template, now being replicated nationwide, has become the backbone of a new digital Nigeria – a Nigeria that is innovative, competitive, and future-ready.<\/p>\n
We urge Nigerians to look beyond the noise of naysayers and recognize the silent revolution happening across our digital landscape. The Tinubu administration is not merely talking about the future -it is building it, byte by byte, code by code, and innovation by innovation.<\/p>\n
Unlike the rudderless opposition parties still trapped in the politics of bitterness and backwardness, President Tinubu is redefining leadership in the digital age. While they trade insults and chase shadows, he is investing in broadband, training millions of young Nigerians, and building platforms that will sustain generations. The contrast is clear: one side is working to secure Nigeria\u2019s digital destiny; the other is stuck in analog dreams of the past.<\/p>\n
Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria is not just catching up with the rest of the world – we are taking the lead as Africa\u2019s digital vanguard.<\/p>\n
