• Business Growth: It enables businesses to connect with customers beyond their immediate vicinities and expands market reach.

• Emergency Response: Families can provide precise address information during emergencies, improving response times.

Supporting Economic Growth:

Minister Tijani emphasized that accurate digital infrastructure is a critical foundation for the Federal Government’s goal of growing Nigeria’s economy to $1 trillion.

“Every Nigerian deserves to be found. Every business deserves the chance to reach its customers. And every community deserves to be within reach of opportunity,” said Tijani.

He added, “As we work towards President Bola Tinubu’s ambition for a $1 trillion economy, we must build the foundations that allow more Nigerians to participate, trade, and prosper. This is one of those foundations.”
