By Adeleye Kunle

Ali Isa Pantami, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, has assured Nigerians of the Federal Government’s commitment to providing quality ICT services to the public and private sectors.

When inspecting the newly constructed zonal Data four collection in Kano, the minister spoke.

The data collection sector, according to the minister, was established to improve ICT services while also generating revenue for the government.

“We built this center based on demand from citizens and customers so that it can be sustained,” he said. However, if our customer base grows, we have already planned for it.

According to Pantami, the main goals of the digital economy center are to provide services and support to security agencies in order to reduce cybercrime and other related issues.

He stated that the Federal Government will soon inaugurate the data collection center, and that similar centers were established in other parts of the country some years ago.
