As the election draws nearer, the president urged Nigerians to examine the agenda of the leaders. Sirajo said they must be people who are rich in ideas and must be able to implement those ideas.

The executive vice chairman, Nigerian Communications Commission, Professor Umar Dambatta said Nigeria must explore opportunities of the digital economy to ameliorate poverty. The EVC explained that there is traditional poverty, which is the general scarcity of certain materials and digital poverty which is the lack of access to information.

He, therefore, noted that Nigeria is not enjoying a digital economy due to inadequate telecoms infrastructure.
