[News] Unlocking Nigeria’s Potential through transformative implementation of Presidential Executive Order No. 5

Presidential Executive Order No. 5 is a visionary policy set to propel Nigeria’s innovation, science, and technology. This transformative step aims to diversify our economy, boost investments, reduce foreign dependency, and strengthen the Naira. It’s aligned with the Federal Government’s 8-point Agenda.

Nigeria is rich in human capital and untapped resources. Yet, youth unemployment persists as we import what we could produce locally.

This executive order tackles these challenges by supporting Made-in-Nigeria Goods and Services, nurturing local capabilities, and promoting global competition. Operationalizing it is the mandate of the Strategic Implementation Task Office of the Executive Order (SITOPEO-5).

Several policies are in development:

Competitiveness in Raw Materials and Products

Development

Leather and Leather Products Policy (NLLPP)

National Welding Policy

Methanol Fuel Technology Program

Technology and Innovation Centres

Digital Addressing Technology

Nigeria National Innovation Commercialization

Program (NICP)

Clean Technology Program

The Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology is fully committed to this journey, led by Hon. Minister, Chief Uche Nnaji echoes this reality that this is a defining moment in Nigeria’s history, set to create jobs, reduce poverty, and drive innovation. Let’s join hands to unlock Nigeria’s potential and create lasting impact for generations to come.
