Deji Elumoye in Abuja
The Buhari administration has commenced the process that will pump the technology, entertainment and creative sectors with over N240 billion in financing and investment set to take off by the end of the year.
A presidential source said at the weekend that the financing, which is a $500 million loan to be sourced from the African Development Bank (AfDB), could harness potential in Nigeria’s creative and technology industries.
The plan, the sources said, was to collaborate with the AfDB and other finance partners to set up the $500 million fund in support of the Nigeria Innovation Programme (NIP).
