The federal government has proposed to launch the $617 million investment in digital and creative enterprises (i-DICE) by November.
This is aimed at delivering on the promise of President Bola Tinubu’s determination to deliver on the promise to create millions of jobs in the technology space.
He gave the directive on Friday when the i-DICE team gave him an update on the progress made so far during a meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Accordingly, he urged all partners in the i-DICE programme to ensure judicious utilisation of the funds, noting that the $617.7 million scheme could be a game changer.
“I am interested in getting a weekly update on what is being done to kick-start this programme. We also need to spread out to cover the whole country so that there is inclusivity. If we judiciously utilise these funds, the target impact and anticipated benefits will be immense.
