Introduction
This presentation has been prepared to facilitate discussions about the strategic role the Government can play in the development
and implementation of holistic ICT strategies and solutions that address binding constraints in critical sectors of the economy.

Nigeria with a GDP of $US 522bn (2013) is currently the 25th largest economy in the world, and the largest in Sub-Sahara Africa.
With an average growth rate of 6.4% since 2010, Nigeria is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. If the growth rate is
maintained and sustained Nigeria is on track to become one of the top 20 economies by 2020. However, Nigeria’s economic
renaissance has not been inclusive for most of its 170m population. Nigeria has a high youth unemployment and it’s Human
Development Index (HDI) is one of the lowest in the world at 0.504. With GDP (based on Purchasing Power Parity ) Per Capita of US
$2883 and over 50% of the population living below national poverty line, Nigeria is the 45th poorest country in the world.

To sustain economic growth it is paramount that the differential advantage of Nigerian - its young population, location and resources
are leveraged to increase job creation, enhance the development and export of complex products, and drive far reaching economic
participation. Analytical evidence indicates ICT investment has significant impact on economic development: “In developing
economies, over the previous 25 years, a 10% increase in mobile phone penetration can be associated with 0.8% boost to GDP Per
Capita, and the same increase in Broadband networks added a further 1.4%” (World Bank, 2009). In developing economies similar to
Nigeria, with unprecedented level of infrastructure deficit, poor quality of education, lack of proper health facilities and high level of
illiteracy, there are pockets of proven cases that ICT can make a real difference in driving a sustainable and inclusive economic
development.

The global focus is shifting from driving penetration and connectivity for communication to transformational use of ICT for poverty
reduction, job creation, entrepreneurship and SME development, enhanced productivity, and access to social services. This provides
an opportune moment for Nigeria.

“ICT has proven to be a key enabler of
socioeconomic progress and development;
enhancing productivity and therefore economic
growth, poverty reduction and improved living
standards”
Soumitra Dutta and Irene Mia,
The Global Information Technology Report
2008–2009: Mobility in a Networked World
“Information and communication technologies
have the potential to transform business and
government in Africa; drive entrepreneurship,
innovation and economic growth.”
“In 2015, ICT growth will be a strong driver
of GDP growth in key countries in Africa,
namely Kenya, Nigeria and Rwanda.”
ICT is an enabler for inclusive and sustainable
economic development and job creation.

…and it contributes to job creation
ICT creates about 6m Jobs
annually, of which 10% is in Africa.

With an average of 25% annual
increase, ICT job is one of the
fastest growing employment
sectors.

GDP per ICT job created in Africa is
about $13,400. Although less than
other regions, it is signiﬁcantly
higher than US$2780, the average
GDP per capita of Sub-Sahara
African countries.

eGovernment is the utilisation of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance and
improve the delivery of public service.

Over the years, it has become much broader than the
provision of online services, eGovernment is
increasingly about how Governments use ICT
as a catalyst for sustainable inclusive
economic development.

R62 G108 B132! R191 G31 B3R82 G149 B173
With the fast pace of technology and innovation, citizens,
businesses and stakeholders’ expectations are changing
u  Reduction in administrative burden with such concept as ‘Once Only’, ‘One-Stop-Shop’
government portals.

u  Efficiency, accountability and reduction in administrative cost of government.
u  Increasing expectation by citizens to participate in public affairs and decisions. Significantly,
there is an ongoing shift in what it means to be a democratic state and citizen’s role in the
process.
u  Increasing demand for public data and information to foster innovation and support the
development of new business opportunities.

In addition,
u  The complex webs and interdependencies of economic and social issues, (such as job
creation, financial inclusion, healthy citizens, poverty reduction, security concerns) cuts across
multiple government agencies, private sector and communities.

e-Democracy: a Paradigm Shift
By Soumitra Dutta and Matthew Fraser Nov. 19, 2008 | 12:20 p.m. EST + More
Barack Obama and the Facebook
Election
The president-elect was far ahead online, Matthew Fraser and
Soumitra Dutta write.
The presidential election of 2008 will go down in history for an obvious symbolic reason that will inspire
future generations. Yet while pundits were focused on Barack Obama's race, another largely overlooked
factor in his success was his powerful techno-demographic appeal.
We know that Obama's landmark victory was due, in part, to a groundswell of support among young
Americans. Early in his campaign, political pollsters were observing that Obama was "rocking the youth
vote." This proved true: Exit polls revealed that Obama had won nearly 70 percent of the vote among
Americans under age 25—the highest percentage since U.S. exit polling began in 1976.
Obama enjoyed a groundswell of support among, for lack of a better term, the Facebook generation. He
will be the first occupant of the White House to have won a presidential election on the Web.
“Barack Obama, 2008 Presidential Election marks a major E-ruption in electoral
polities… as campaigning shifts from old-style political machines to the dynamics
of online social media. Obama enjoyed a groundswell of support among the
FACEBOOK generation.” – US News
In 2008, Social Media
undoubtedly transformed the
presidential campaign. OBAMA
WON 75% of the youth vote.

(2)  ICT

Some of the key barriers to ICT infrastructure
development;
1.  Investment & Funding for Capital Intensive programmes

2.  Right of Way for laying ﬁber optics and procuring land for base
stations – which could cost up 40-70% of the total cost*
3.  Multiple regulators and lengthy approval times of the e tiers of
government: Federal, State and Local
4.  Security of Infrastructure

Accelerated rollout of National Broadband Plan with the Open
Access Model for Next Generation Fiber Optic Broadband by the Nigeria Communication
Commission (NCC) will increase broadband penetration and enhance network readiness
for big-data. An holistic Private Public Partnership approach to the development of ICT
backbone and network infrastructure is key.

Estimated Success & Failure rates of eGovernment
Initiatives in Developing / Transitional Countries
Note: The success and failure
rates were estimated based on
a combination of:

1.  Survey of cases and studies
in literature.
2.  Poll conducted with
eGovDev Mailing list.

3.  Analysis of 40 e-
government case reports
from developing countries
submitted for academic
assessments.

Success will be determined by how well the plans are
executed and the measureable results achieved

Effective and

The ability to execute is considerably more important than planning. Implementation is
not easy. It is complex and involves many people and institutions with conflicting
agendas and options. Often the journey is filled with unforeseen barriers and risks.
However it is a worthwhile investment if the desired future is to be attained.
