But as it is today, the federal government has provided an enabling environment for the private sector to produce SIM cards, not only for our consumption, but for the entire African continent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the capacity to produce a minimum of 200 million SIM cards annually and have provided an enabling environment for the private sector to start the production of smart phones. Today in Nigeria, we are producing smartphones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the time spent in office, Pantami said his administration has worked towards supporting the three point agenda of the Buhari-led government which includes security, anti-corruption and economic development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder this policy, over 727 institutions have complied with over 323 projects cleared in accordance with laid down guidelines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe successfully saved over N22.4 billion to the federal coffers by executing its mandate to support the Anti-corruption drive of the President Muhammad Buhari administration through the implementation of the Information Technology Projects clearance policy. Under this policy, over 727 Institutions have complied with over 323 projects cleared in accordance with the laid down guidelines\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the sector has established over 300 ICT centres, fully funded by the federal government across all states of the federation, including the federal capital territory (FCT).<\/p>\n<p>The minister added that under the digital Nigeria portal, over 210,000 citizens, including women, youths and the physically challenged, have been equipped with various digital skills for economic empowerment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of communications and digital economy, Isa Pantami has stated that the enforcement of information technology clearance process of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) saved Nigeria over N22.45 billion.
