Dr Boaun Tijani, the newly designated minister for Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy, has said that he shared his vision of what to expect in his ministry with the Ogun state Governor, Dapo Abiodun, saying he had earlier met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu before proceeding to meet with Abiodun, where they both brainstormed on the use of technology to drive productivity in all sectors.
It would be recalled that following his portfolio assignment alongside 44 others by Tinubu on Wednesday, Tijani said, “I look forward to working with all stakeholders to raise the level of productivity across our economy through the smart application of technology.”
However, the minister in the latest post via X (formerly Twitter), said he and the governor exchanged thoughts on utilising technology and innovative ideas to boost productivity in critical economic sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture and education among others.
The minister-designate wrote, “Following my meeting with Mr President @officialABAT, I spent an afternoon with the Governor of my home state, His Excellency Prince @dabiodunMFR, to share my vision for the Ministry of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy.
“We also shared ideas on leveraging technology and innovation to enhance productivity in manufacturing, agriculture, education and other critical sectors. We agreed that technology remains the best path to accelerated development and will partner for our collective prosperity.”
