Nigeria has been positioned at the forefront of global advocacy for data-powered social progress
The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, made this known while delivering her opening remarks at the Solutions Session, a high-level event held on the sidelines of the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD) in Doha, Qatar,
She stated that data was an instrument for justice and the heartbeat of inclusive governance.
Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim urged World leaders to ensure that digital transformation became a force for equity, not exclusion, so no community, woman, or child was left behind in the data revolution.
The minister further reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to harnessing data, innovation, and digital cooperation to drive inclusive growth.
The session, themed “Data-Driven Strategies to Address the Gaps in Social Development and Accelerate an Inclusive Digital Economy,” was co-hosted by Nigeria, the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), and the Kingdom of Belgium.
