The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is building six technology parks across the country. It is in the process of completing the first phase of the project. Four of the six zones of the country are covered in the first phase of the project.
The geopolitical zones include Enugu in the South-East; Abeokuta in the South-West; Maiduguri in the North-East; and Kano in the North-West. The move is for boosting digital skills among young people, promoting innovations, providing jobs for young Nigerians and ultimately supporting the Federal Government Digital Agenda.
The ICT Parks, which are at various levels of completion, would deliver a fully functional tier-4 Digital Industry Complex (DIC) that will involve a commercial hub for ICT capacity building and digital skills, employment creation and entrepreneurial activities, as well as smart city deployment across the country. The ICT/Telecoms sector potential remains huge in the global economy. It can bring huge opportunities for young people to use their creativity.
