The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa, CCIE, has emphasized the vital role of renewable energy as a foundational enabler for digital innovation and inclusive growth across Nigerias rural communities.
Speaking as a panelist at the Civil Society Policy Forum during the 2025 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund IMF in Washington D.C., Inuwa stated that when power is available, connectivity follows, which then triggers true economic transformation.
Renewable energy is not the destination. It is a catalyst-when there is power, connectivity follows, and that connectivity triggers true transformation, he said.
