Export of Nigerian content is one of the ways National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) can partner to further promote and develop our products and services to the world, the NITDA’s Director General, Mr. Peter Jack has said.
He disclosed this when he received the Executive Director of NEPC, Mr. Olusegun Awolowo and his team at the NITDA headquarters in Abuja.
Jack said “two components of NITDA’s mandate are IT development and standards, guidelines and regulations therefore we are willing to partner with NEPC for the capacity development of its staff and development of a portal for effective management of export procedures. In adherence to the pursuit of its mandate, NITDA has set up the Office of Nigerian Content Development in ICT to promote local content in the IT sector.”
The DG stressed that a multi stakeholder partnership should be encouraged to drive the sector forward.
He said that the e-commerce platform can be enforced with partnership with the private sectors like Jumia and Konga who are e-commerce based.  
 Mr. Awolowo said Information and Communication Technology (ICT), agriculture and entertainment are some of the sectors that Nigeria has so much to export to the world and thereby creating job opportunity for the population.
