Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Monday, said Nigeria possessed the requisite talents, creativity and acumn to be significant in Web 3.
“In 1989, we didn’t have mobile phones; so we could not take advantage of the reach and depth that mobile telecoms gave digital innovation and financial inclusion. We are now better positioned to be significant players in Web 3,” Osinbajo said when he appeared as Special Guest of Honour at this year’s Nigeria Digital Economy Summit themed, Web 3.0, Blockchain & DeFi: Impact on Africa’s Digital Economy.
This is according to a statement signed on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, titled ‘We can become world leaders in the digital economy, the only limit is vision, Osinbajo says.’
The Nigeria Digital Economy Summit is a privately funded public-private partnership forum to support Nigeria’s digital transformation into a globally leading digital economy.
