300 New Jobs and Enhanced Internet Access: Federal Government’s Digital Leap Forward

The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to create 300 direct jobs and boost internet access through a new initiative called ‘Project 774 LG Connectivity.’

The project, unveiled by the Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, aims to provide connectivity to all 774 Local Government Secretariats across Nigeria.

Dr. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, announced the project on Monday.

The initiative will be co-anchored by Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NigComSat) and Galaxy Backbone, under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy.

The project aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ and the ministry’s strategic blueprint.

The goal of the project is to foster inclusive development and digital public infrastructure in government offices located all over Nigeria, including the most remote areas of the country that may have been previously underserved or unserved.

The initiative is expected to create at least 300 direct jobs and potentially more jobs indirectly from the increase in digital access.

Project 774 LG Connectivity is a significant step in achieving President Tinubu’s mandate to deliver efficient public service to our citizens at the LG level.

It also aligns with the ministry’s Strategic Blueprint, as it is a crucial step in achieving sustainable development for all through the power of connectivity.

The FG’s ‘Project 774 LG Connectivity’ is a significant step in boosting internet access and creating employment opportunities in Nigeria.

By connecting all Local Government Secretariats, the project will improve digital access and foster inclusive development across the country.
