In today’s rapidly advancing world, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is leading the charge to position Nigeria as a global leader in sustainable development and economic diversification. Director General Kashifu Inuwa CCIE recently emphasized this vision at the 8th Annual Research Fair and Exhibition at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK).

Speaking on the theme “Disruptive Transformational Innovation: Shaping the Future”, Inuwa highlighted the immense potential of innovation to address Nigeria’s challenges and unlock its untapped potential. He stressed the crucial role of academia, industry leaders, and policymakers in embracing cutting-edge, knowledge-based solutions.

Inuwa’s keynote was more than just a speech; it was a call to action. He commended NSUK for its progressive approach and lauded the university for aligning with Nigeria’s goal of becoming a knowledge-based economy. By fostering platforms for the exchange of transformative ideas, NSUK is nurturing the intellectual and practical foundations needed to solve real-world problems.

These sentiments reflect NITDA’s commitment to driving Nigeria’s competitiveness on the global stage. Through strategic collaborations and a focus on disruptive innovation, NITDA is pushing the boundaries in fields such as digital economy, technology development, and e-governance.

As Nigeria grapples with challenges such as youth unemployment and economic diversification, the imperative to harness innovation has never been greater. With leaders like NITDA at the forefront, Nigeria has the opportunity to shape its future as a disruptor and innovator in a rapidly evolving global economy.
