For decades, the tech industry has quietly drawn a line a line that too often separates potential from opportunity, brilliance from recognition, and especially, women from access. In Nigeria, that narrative is changing. And at the centre of that change is a national commitment powered by institutions like the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA.
Leading this change is Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, Director General of NITDA, whose vision has not only shaped Nigerias digital transformation but also made sure that women are not left behind. Under his watch, NITDA has stepped forward as more than a regulator.
It has become a driving force for gender inclusion in ICT breaking old barriers and rewriting tired narratives. This commitment was once again clear at InnovateHer 25 the 10th National Conference and 11th Annual Meeting of the Nigerian Women in Information Technology.
