FG, Lagos stakeholders push for digital economy, e-governance bill

The Federal Government met with stakeholders in Lagos on Thursday to discuss the proposed Digital Economy and e-Governance Bill, part of a series of consultations designed to shape a nationwide legal framework for the digital economy.

The Lagos meeting followed earlier sessions held in several states as the government works to gather input from each of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

“After starting with a few states in the last couple of weeks, we were in Lagos today and will be in Kano, Cross River, Kaduna, Ogun, and Abia next week,” the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, said.

Speaking at the event, Tijani emphasised the government’s commitment to involving all stakeholders to ensure the proposed legislation is both inclusive and impactful.
