The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has lauded the announcement by Google CEO Sundai Pichai of the committment of Google to invest $1billion in African countries including Nigeria for Digital transformation of countries on the continent over the next 5 years.
NACCIMA is of the firm view that this decision by Google to support African countries through a range of initiatives such as improved connectivity, support for Start ups, virtual learning and expansion of opportunities through Technology are the right steps in the right direction.
Perhaps most important we note that projects and programmes under Google’s $5 billion Investment Fund will be carried out in close collaboration with relevant national stakeholders including Businesses and the private sector.
Notably NACCIMA led by its National President John Udeagbala has identified expansion of Technology in the conduct of Businesses and has decided to establish Geo tech Centre across the country to ensure wide applications of Technology.
