“NIMES has become a platform for everyone.  The financial sector, manufacturing sector and the creative sector will come together under the umbrella of the Federal government of Nigeria. This is to ensure that they can get the financier that they require. The government policies can be reshaped if they are not good enough. NIMES is a tripod platform for the government, the business community and the innovators to come together and dialogue on how to shape the economy.

This means, digital has become the economy. That is what NIMES stands for and it is the reason why the Federal Government of Nigeria is endorsing and adopting it to ensure that everyone doing business and wants to ensure his or her business is optimized in terms of profitability and knowledge that is where you have to be.” He said.
