The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, has urged Nigerians to take full advantage of the newly inaugurated Nigeria-Korea Information Access Centre (IAC) to empower themselves technologically.

Tijani made this statement during the inauguration of the Nigerian-Korean IAC, themed “Empowering Future through Knowledge, Research, and Innovation,” on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said that the centre would not only accelerate the application of modern and emerging technologies but also provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs.

“There are many young people worldwide who seek progress, and this is why the president is investing in technology to empower them.

“We also recognise that one of the best opportunities for growth lies in information and communication technology.

“Not only does it drive economic prosperity, but it also empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to the world,” Tijani explained.

He further highlighted the nation’s significant investment in digital infrastructure, stressing that it was essential for delivering efficient government services and strengthening the economy.

In his remarks, Dr Aminu Maida, the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), stated that Nigeria was at the point of a digital revolution.

He noted that the NCC had worked diligently to expand broadband penetration and strengthen telecom infrastructure for technological advancement.

Maida explained that the IAC would complement these efforts by providing a platform for learning, research, and innovation.

He called on stakeholders to ensure the centre was accessible to underserved communities, boosting digital literacy and serving as a launchpad for groundbreaking innovations.

“This Information Access Centre is part of a broader commitment to capacity building and learning initiatives in digital technologies.

“It will equip youth, entrepreneurs, and professionals with cutting-edge tools and training to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by AI, Big Data, and IoT,” Maida said.

The South Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Kim Pan-Kyu, expressed optimism that the newly established IAC would play a critical role in transforming Nigeria’s digital potential.

He assured that Korea’s ongoing projects would continue to enhance Nigeria’s digital capabilities for future generations.

“This centre will serve as a hub for digital education and innovation.

“Nigeria’s young talents will be trained, become leaders, and contribute to the growth of Nigeria’s digital economy,” Pan-Kyu added.

Mr David Daser, President of the Digital Bridge Institute, described the IAC as a key connection between Nigeria and the world.

He explained that the initiative was a response to the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS), which envisioned a Nigeria where digital technology would drive innovation and create jobs.

Daser highlighted that the centre would promote digital inclusion, ensuring that Nigerians, regardless of background, had access to ICT tools and skills.

“It will also foster expertise in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cybersecurity.”(NAN)
