This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can positively impact economic development in Nigeria. It notes that while Nigeria has experienced strong GDP growth, this growth has not benefited most of its population who face high unemployment and poverty. The document argues that ICT can be leveraged to create jobs, drive entrepreneurship, and increase access to services. It provides examples of how digital technologies have spurred economic activity in other sectors like health and agriculture. Overall, the document advocates that e-government and ICT strategies can serve as catalysts for sustainable and inclusive economic development if properly implemented in Nigeria.

Industrial Revolution 4.0, the world over, is bringing a sea change in digitisation and technological automation. Compared to earlier revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country, and the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.
India is on a mission to completely embrace digitalisation and digitisation to transform the economic, social and administrative prospects of the country. In July 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid out his ambitious Digital India plan, with the goals of bridging the digital divide in the country, increasing global
competitiveness, fostering innovation and creating jobs. Just 18 months later, we're already seeing the immense impact of digitisation, not only in terms of GDP growth and job creation, but also, in improving the overall quality of life of citizens, and creating better access to jobs and educational opportunities.
The transition from policy to practice has been swift and steadfast. The Central Bank and government are rapidly bringing India’s population into the formal financial ecosystem. While the private sector continues to utilise and accelerate the spread of digitisation, the launch of central government initiatives such as Smart Cities, Digital India and the National Digital Literacy Mission and Broadband Highway, amongst many others, hold tremendous promise in transforming the socio-economic landscape.
Roles of e service in economic development, case study of nigeria, a lower-mi...IJMIT JOURNAL
E-Government activities are still very low in Nigeria, a lower middle-income country, and this is hindering
E-Service adoption. E-Service is inextricably linked to E-Government and they will not develop separately,
but as one progresses the other moves forward. Having a new technology like E-service opens new
opportunities for government, private and public sectors. Despite the fact that the new technology will not be without a hindrance, the overall benefits of using outweigh its lapses.
Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy. There is still more to be done in increasing the revenue of the country, reducing the huge external debt owing the World Bank. Furthermore, there is a need to sustain the new status as top economy in Africa. There are many unresolved problems like
corruption. This leads to a slow movement of files in offices, embezzlement, election irregularities, and port congestions among others. Adoption of E-Service will help to reduce these problems and increase the revenue base of the country.
This study will identify e-Service roles in economic development in Nigeria, a lower middle-income country. The study is based on literature review methodology and recent online survey that shows the level of E-Service awareness and roles. We shall also examine previous conference papers related to this study
and necessary recommendations will be suggested and offered to the authority in Nigeria on how best the e-service adoption will add more success to the economic development.

Consumers’ spend and confidence has continued to dip due to recent economic realities in Nigeria; leaving brands to fight hard wars for their shrinking wallets.
Manufacturers today are faced with the difficult task of maintaining or reducing cost when every raw material used in production has increased. The real issue here is that the 2016 budgets for many manufacturing companies (especially those that are mostly import dependent) in Nigeria were not done while factoring the current scenario in terms of the customs ban, unstable exchange rate and high inflation. However, at the bottom of the rung is the consumer whose take home hasn’t increased with inflation gradually approaching 18%.
To win in this tough situation, manufacturers are strategically managing brands’ quality and quantity without undermining both from the consumers’ context in order to find the balance between cost and price. Hence they engage in extensive market research while sustaining or Increasing the tempo on communication.
This second edition of BrandSpur NG, not only shows the brands that are ‘loud in their talking’ across categories, it also puts together a spectrum of news about happenings in the business and consumer markets. It reveals the direction brands are adopting to stay afloat in this sinking time, prices of commodities, the impact of celebrity endorsement on brands as well as the potential of charcoal among others for your reading pleasure.

Recession in Nigeria is currently making manufacturers including brand gatekeepers and Entrepreneurs rethink their stand so as not to lose their hold in the minds of the consumers and subsequently their wallets.
While difficult times like this mostly favour big brands; smaller brands need to understand that communicating the brand’s assets such as brand awareness, reputation (competence , benefits, attributes, etc.), imagery and deep values among others in an unequivocal manner to remain unique(exclusivity), strong (saliency) and positive (desirable) ahead of competitors (especially market leaders) is a major way to grow or sustain brand strength (market share, growth rate, loyalty rate, penetration etc.). Brands in the height of recession thrive on efforts put into marketing communication because consumers don’t just buy the brand name; they buy branded products that promise tangible and intangible benefits which are created by the manufacturer.

The All Progressive Congress (APC) hopes to clinch the No. 1 seat and they have released their Roadmap to A New Nigeria. If the People know about Government’s plans & programmes, they may have hope in Government’s promises and expect those programmes to be implemented.
As our People go to the polls, ask whoever is seeking for your vote to put in Black-and-White what they intend to do for the people when they get into office; even though talk is cheap, at least the people would have measure (KPI) to appraise Government against.
The role of ICT in financing for development in nigeriaAdemola Adebowale
Nigeria has Africa’s largest mobile market, with more than 148 million subscribers and a penetration of about 107% , this can be considered as a brilliant solution to increase her domestic resource mobilization (DRM) to finance developmental project
The small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) sector has been identified as a critical sector for
the various roles it plays in the socio-economic development of an economy. Such roles include employment
generation, bedrock of entrepreneurial development, avenue for investment and innovation, poverty reduction
and economic growth. It is also a source of forward and backward linkages to multinational corporations
(MNCs) which will engender foreign direct investment and local technological development. In Nigeria, the
SMEs are faced with many challenges which include limited access to fund; lack of capacity of managers etc.
These have undermined the growth, development and sustainability of the sector. It is in order to ameliorate
these numerous challenges that government over the years have formulated and implemented several policies
to develop, encourage and sustain SME success in Nigeria. The study is aimed at drawing important lessons
from the success stories of German Mittlestand by importing, adopting or adapting their characteristics. The
Mittlestand was chosen as a benchmark because the sector is resilient and was able to weather economic storms
during the economic meltdown than many of their competitors. Important lessons that could be learnt by
Nigeria’s SMEs include amongst others, the importance of investing in human resources through the adoption
of Germany’s dual vocational system; production of high quality goods and services; investing in research and
development; provision of after sales services; having a sound business plan that consents to business
inheritance, etc. On the part of government, the lessons that could be learnt include: provision of critical
infrastructure; creating enabling environment for small businesses; passing and enforcing the local content bill
etc

Taxation: Effective tax administration a panacea for poverty eradication in Nigeria
The problem: The Rio+20 in 2012 conference argued that “close to 40 percent of the population of the developing world lived in extreme poverty” this is a great source of concern particularly in Nigeria with enormous natural resources egg crude oil. However, according the national bureau of statistics report in 2010 that over 64 percent of the population leaves below the poverty line of $1.27 per day. The problem of poverty is exacerbated by the incidence of high illicit financial flows (IFF) where the public funds are siphoned by corrupt government officials mostly through contracts.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

…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

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.

Network Readiness
“The
networked
readiness
framework
rests
on
six
principles:
(1) a
high-‐quality
regulatory
and
business
environment
is
cri@cal
in
order
to
fully
leverage
ICTs
and
generate
impact;
(2) ICT
readiness—as
measured
by
ICT
affordability,
skills,
and
infrastructure—is
a
pre-‐condi@on
to
genera@ng
impact;
(3) fully
leveraging
ICTs
requires
a
society-‐wide
effort:
the
government,
the
business
sector,
and
the
popula@on
at
large
each
have
a
cri@cal
role
to
play;
(4) ICT
use
should
not
be
an
end
in
itself.
The
impact
that
ICTs
actually
have
on
the
economy
and
society
is
what
ul@mately
maUers;
(5) the
set
of
drivers—
the
environment,
readiness,
and
usage—interact,
co-‐
evolve,
and
reinforce
each
other
to
form
a
virtuous
cycle;
and
(6) the
networked
readiness
framework
should
provide
clear
policy
guidance.”

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

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.
