The Federal Government of Nigeria has set its sights on passing the Digital Economy Bill by the second quarter of 2025, as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure and foster economic growth.

The bill, which is currently in the process of review, is expected to lay the foundation for comprehensive legislation to guide Nigeria’s digital economy, including technology innovation, e-governance, and digital services.

Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, confirmed the timeline during a recent interview on Arise TV, stressing that the bill will be pivotal in advancing the country’s digital ambitions.

According to the minister, the bill will address critical issues such as infrastructure development, talent cultivation, and regulatory transparency.

The bill also aims to improve e-governance practices and increase public participation by soliciting feedback from citizens across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
