    Mr. Bolaji Akinremi, Minister,  Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations has said leveraging Information and Communications technology is key to Nigeria’s quest towards attaining a sustainable development by 2030.

     

    Thus, while delivering Nigeria’s statement on ‘Information and Communications Technologies for Development’ at the UN General Assembly’s debate in New York stated that Nigeria is committed to increasing the current coverage of the active mobile broadband subscription per 100 from 20.95 per cent to 50 per cent by 2020.

     

    According to Akinremi, whose part of his role is to facilitate Nigeria’s relations with member states on issues touching on cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress and human rights if the information gap keeps widening, the possibility of attaining sustainable development by 2030 is not certain.

     

    He said Nigeria will continue to call on Member States to consider giving Information and Communications Technologies a pride of place in the education curriculum. “By so doing, they will undoubted bridge the digital divide that would ultimately help us attain 2030 sustainable development goal,” Akinremi said.

     

    He said that involving developing countries in the ICT revolution would bridge the wide gap of access to information among people. According to him, if the information gap keeps widening, the possibility of attaining sustainable development by 2030 is not certain. “It is in this vein that Nigeria further calls on Member States to consider giving Information and Communications Technologies a pride of place in the education curriculum. “By so doing, they will undoubted bridge the digital divide,” Akinremi said.
