Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has stated that attaining President Bola Tinubu’s $1 trillion economy target would revolve around the inclusion of every individual and sector in the digital ecosystem. Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, stated this at the end of the 4th edition of NCC Hackathon Live Show, on Thursday in Abuja.
Maida, who was represented by Executive Commissioner, Stakeholders Management, Rimini Makama, disclosed that if Nigeria must achieve the $1 trillion economy, no sector or persons should be excluded from the digital economy.
He stated, “For persons with disabilities, barriers to accessing digital technologies and services can mean exclusion not just from connectivity but from education, employment, financial services, healthcare and participation in society.
