The national economic council has approved the implementation of the $617.7 million investment in digital and creative enterprises programme.At its 140th meeting held virtually on Thursday, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, chairman of the council, said the firm resolve of President Bola Tinubu’s administration is to leave a legacy of prosperity and opportunity for all Nigerians.
“But two things are clear: one, we won’t ever regret paving the way for the acquisition of skills that meet the needs of the global markets; two, our actions today will shape the economic landscape of tomorrow, and so it’s incumbent upon us to ensure that we leave a legacy of prosperity and opportunity for all Nigerians,” he said.
Shettima said the government has moved beyond mere deliberations to the implementation phase and it is actively pursuing its short-term goals en route to achieving the medium-term and long-term strategies. However, he said the interventions made so far to prevent natural disasters, combat crude oil theft, and mitigate environmental damage, would be useless to the citizens unless job creation and skill development at every part of the nation is prioritised.
