The Federal government spent N152 billion on digitization in 2021, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, has said.
Speaking at the closing of 2021 Service Wife capacity building programme on e-Government at e-Government Training Centre, Abuja, the minister
said the figure represents a quantum leap from the N9 billion spent in 2019 and 2020.
He said the amount was approved by NITDA for CBN, NNPC, CAC, Immigration and Customs, among other agencies of government for 2021 fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the minister has assured that the federal government will migrate to a paperless government by 2030.
He said all the necessary measures had been put in place to achieve the objective by 2030 through the National Policy on Digital Nigeria.
