An expert has urged Nigeria’s incoming government led by Muhammadu Buhari to invest $500 million in the nation’s ICT industry to provide jobs for unemployed youths in the country.
Speaking last weekend in Lagos, Chairman of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, said the federal government should be bold enough to invest the money on just four Nigerians who will build multi-billion dollar companies that will take millions of young people out of labour market.
Leo Stan who is the chairman the occasion noted that the move will make ICT players perform more than what Dangote and some other sectors have done in providing jobs in the country.
He said, “Zinox saw the future of the industry close to two decades ago, citing the Abacha regime as setting the pace and subsequent regimes have continued to bring transformations to the industry; even Zinox now a Group, has been focused since then on the trajectory.”
