NITDA boss Malam Kashifu Inuwa rocked New York Thursday at the WSIS+20 UN bash, rolling out Nigeria’s killer roadmap to localize global digital pledges—tackling connectivity gaps, affordability woes and literacy lags via PPP fibre optics (90K km with World Bank), broadband plan renewals and multi-stakeholder IGF hustles for inclusive growth.
On the sidelines of Naija’s “Re-Imagining Digital Cooperation” event, Inuwa (via Dr Dimie Wariowei) synced the blueprint with WSIS’s four pillars—from Geneva 2003 roots—to flip international talk into homegrown wins, expanding infra to remote spots and boosting econ via sustainable tech access.
Jennifer Chung’s IMSB crew hailed Nigeria’s collab vibe, pushing IGF/youth tracking for 2030 SDGs and AU 2063—proving this strategy could rocket broadband penetration, slash digital divides and cement Naija’s global tech leadership if execution hits hard.
