Shettima said the grant was part of Nigeria’s strategy for digital transformation and leadership in Africa. According to the statement, the Vice President spoke at the launch of the AI Expertise Blockchain and Technology Training and Outsourcing Initiative in Dutse.
Shettima said that Nigeria was not just catching up with the rest of the world, but is poised to overtake them in terms of economy and technology. He had earlier launched the 4th edition of the Expanded National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Clinic, announcing that Tinubu had ordered that a grant of N150,000 be given to each of the business owners in the state, as the Federal Government’s support to MSMEs across the country.
