The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has launched a regional office in Enugu State to boost digital innovation and economic growth in Nigeria’s Southeast.
Commissioned by Enugu Governor Peter Mbah and Communications Minister Dr. Bosun Tijani, the office is set to serve as a hub for tech skills training, startup support, and strategic partnerships.
Dr. Tijani said the initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aiming to decentralize digital opportunities and empower young innovators. “This isn’t just a building, it’s a bridge between national policy and local talent,” he noted.
