Stanley Nkwocha, the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Communications, conveyed this message in a statement titled ‘Our Youths Will Propel Nigeria into Digital Economy Powerhouse – President Tinubu.’

Representing Tinubu at the gathering, Shettima emphasized Nigeria’s ambition to transcend mere unicorn creation and evolve into a global talent outsourcing hub within the digital and creative economy realms. He underscored the pivotal role of Nigeria’s youthful population in achieving this vision.

“President Tinubu has remained resolute in his commitment to dismantle the influence of economic saboteurs since taking office,” remarked the VP. “I’m pleased to announce that our economy has moved beyond the era of sabotage.”

Reading Tinubu’s address titled ‘The Path to Recovery: Nigeria’s Journey Beyond Sabotage,’ Shettima reiterated Nigeria’s plans to foster a robust digital marketplace capable of embracing cutting-edge innovations. This, he emphasized, would position Nigeria as a premier destination for outsourcing talent in digital and creative sectors globally.

Shettima’s remarks follow the launch of the Outsource to Nigeria Initiative (OTNI) aimed at integrating Nigeria into the $350 billion global outsourcing market. OTNI, a private sector-driven initiative supported by the Vice President’s Office, aims to create jobs in technology-enabled outsourcing.

Shettima briefed other African leaders on the extensive reforms implemented by Tinubu’s administration to combat illicit activities and currency manipulation, long impeding Nigeria’s progress. In addition to the digital transformation agenda, Nigeria is committed to prioritizing climate resilience and attracting investments in carbon markets.

“The urgency prompted by climate-induced disruptions underscores our commitment to translating innovative concepts into actionable strategies,” Shettima emphasized. “We aim to position Nigeria as an investment-friendly destination for carbon market investments.”

Shettima expressed confidence that the summit’s outcome would address the collective needs of African and IDA countries, encapsulating their aspirations and challenges. He outlined key priorities under Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing economic expansion, job creation, food security, and inclusivity.

Highlighting the significance of regional economic integration through initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement, the VP stressed the need to dismantle investment barriers and enhance access to global markets for sustainable growth.
