Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has said Nigeria is being repositioned to become the leading digital economy in Africa.

Speaking at a meeting with the management of Huawei Technologies Nigeria Limited in Abuja, the minister noted that Nigeria already had advantages over other countries in the race to become the continent’s leader in digitalisation.

Huawei at the event presented 10 Nigerian students, selected from different institutions to take part in an internship programme alongside participants from other countries at its headquarters in China.
