Newsonline reports that the Nigerian Government has disclosed that it is working on a bill to boost Nigeria’s digital ecosystem and support tech founders and entrepreneurs in Nigeria.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Mr Isa Pantami, during an interactive session with the leadership of the House of Representatives on Tuesday in Abuja, according to NAN.
He stated that if the FG supports tech founders, it will go a long way in creating many job opportunities for the citizens.
Urging Nigerian lawmakers to work with the executive to address the challenges facing young innovators and entrepreneurs in Nigeria, he said the bill, when passed, would provide the enabling environment for young entrepreneurs, particularly within the digital ecosystem to be successful.
“These young entrepreneur’s are not seeking jobs from the government. In fact, they are employers, not employees.
” So by implication, if we support them, that will go a long way in creating many job opportunities for our citizens.
“Because all the start-ups are not in any way potential job employees but rather potential job providers,” Pantami said.
