FG Establishes Technical Committee on Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (i-DICE)
The Federal Government has established a technical committee to launch the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (iDICE) Programme, with Vice President Kashim Shettima praising it as the start of a new era in Nigeria.
The iDICE Programme is a joint initiative involving government entities and global allies such as the Bank of Industry, African Development Bank, French Development Agency, and Islamic Development Bank. Its principal objective is to support and foster growth in digital and creative industries for businesses.
During its meeting in March, the National Economic Council (NEC) approved the rollout of the $617.7 million i-DICE program across all 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
During the inauguration of the Technical Committee of the iDICE program on Wednesday, the Vice President enthusiastically highlighted the potential of the initiative to reshape the digital and creative scene.
“We embark on a journey of innovation, collaboration, and boundless opportunity – a journey that holds the power to redefine the trajectory of our nation’s digital and creative landscape,” VP Shettima said
