Abstract

As Africa’s major oil exporter and factor driven stage country, Nigeria has made some progress in socioeconomic terms in recent years. However, large pockets of Nigeria’s population still live in poverty without adequate access to basic services. Currently, Nigeria is capturing just as small fraction of its potential for digital development as a viable policy response. While the country has the requisite development oriented strategies, policies and regulations in place; there is still gap in terms of implementation monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, accelerating digital transformation of Nigerian firms requires critical enablers to ensure that policy framework is kept up to date and has suitable long term anchors. In other word, while the capacity to innovate and strengthen regulatory frameworks for digital business in crucial in attracting digital investments; these frameworks will be less effective without strong digital infrastructure and digitally skilled labor force. Consequently, this paper argued that Nigerian government and development partners should continue to support all enterprise firms in their pursuit of digital transformation – led growth and development so that new discoveries can work for us all. Specifically, the adoption of UNI-POD and Technology Incubation Centers as dynamic institutions (of innovation and creativity) to facilitate digital transformation processes of all Nigerian enterprises is highly recommended.
