‘’The partnership, which was launched during a meeting between the President and the Google CEO in Paris, will lead to the development of a roadmap for Nigeria’s digital transformation.

“It will focus on five key areas: infrastructure development, scaling of citizens, AI innovation, cloud adoption, and investment framework, ’’ he said.

Kashifu also highlighted the importance of data centres in driving digital economy and the need to domicile sensitive data both for government and the private sector.

He said that no data centre relied on grid electricity globally.

“Data centres go off-grid, they go green because they also need carbon credit. We are looking at that as part of the framework,’’ he said.

The D-G said that there was a need to upskill Nigeria’s workforce to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the partnership.

According to him, there is need to embed digital skills in the country’s education sector from primary school to tertiary institutions.
