Chief executive officer of MTN Nigeria Mr Karl Toriola has challenged Nigerian subnational governments to create clusters of ICT parks for the acquisition of
digital skills and attraction of digital investment into their domains. He said digitisation is the only thing that would increase the productivity of the nation and any state that elects to take part of success.
Toriola there are a whole lot of opportunities that can be tapped into in the telecom industry. “For us, we think there are massive opportunities and we are just waiting for the states that are going to lead in this area. And they will attract a disproportionate amount of investment from our industry.”
On a regional basis, he said certain states based on the number of natural resources they have, can also create clusters of investment and work in partnerships around agriculture, mining which gives an enabling environment and confidence to investors to come and invest in Border States for easy movement of goods and services.
