I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can improve our lives, which is why I decided to invest in a farm and use innovation to tackle one of the world’s most pressing issues: food security. Though our first harvest didn’t meet expectations, it was an exciting start to a journey I’m eager to continue. Here’s a video of a combine harvester at work at Duns Field Farm, captured by one of our drones. Would you be interested in watching a documentary series about my journey as a tech-driven farmer?

It was an honour to speak at the Ai updates 2023 in the UK earlier today alongside other ministers of ICT. The summit is a gathering of global stakeholders including governments, leading AI companies, experts in research and civil society groups. As a nation of innovators and entrepreneurs, Nigeria must recognise the significance of Artificial Intelligence and the urgent need to explore and use it for the good of humanity. I would also like to thank the UK Government for inviting us to be part of the UK AI for Development Programme which will support our efforts to improve AI research and inclusive datasets. This partnership is a recognition of our commitment to the growth of AI in Nigeria as outlined in our Strategic Blueprint and evidenced by our initial launch of the National AI Research Scheme. #NigerianExcellence

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nollywood Icon, Sola Sobowale to reflect on the 2nd anniversary of my appointment as Minister by H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Aunty Sola came prepared and I was happy to chat through some of the work we’ve done at the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy in the last 2 years. We’ve put that conversation together in a 7-part series touching on our journey so far from Connectivity to Talent, AI to Innovation, as well as policy initiatives, as we shape a more inclusive digital future for our people. This conversation with Aunty Sola was equal parts inspiring and fun, and I can’t wait for you all to watch all 7 episodes! #NigerianExcellence #Nollywood

I am always interested in getting your input on our plans. We have this fantastic space in Abuja, one of many we are optimising to deepen our innovation ecosystem and increase access to collaborative spaces across the country. What would you do with a space like this in Abuja?

Spent a weekend in Abeokuta where history, culture and adventure met family fun. Truly a city full of stories #MyOgun

Yesterday, I returned to my roots — Anglican High School, Quarry Road, Abeokuta — the place that shaped my earliest dreams. It was an emotional journey down memory lane, but more importantly, a chance to give back meaningfully to the next generation. To honour my alma mater, I launched the Bosun Tijani Fellowship — an annual programme that will support 17 students with: - ₦100,000 each towards their tuition - A brand-new laptop - New school uniforms But that’s just the beginning. I also adopted a one-storey classroom block housing four classes — which will be fully renovated, equipped with modern furniture and smart boards, to create an environment worthy of 21st-century learning. In addition, I have adopted the school’s science laboratory, which is currently empty, and will be transforming it into a well-equipped space for practical science learning. This is more than a gesture of gratitude. It is a belief that greatness can emerge from anywhere — and that with the right support, today’s students can build a future even brighter than our past. To every young person out there: your story matters, your dreams are valid, and we are counting on you.

NCC Digital Innovation Park , Kano - From Setback to Strength No setback can stop our mission to take His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of Digital Transformation to every corner of Nigeria. The restoration of the ncc.gov.ng Digital Innovation Park in Kano to an even better state, after last year’s vandalism, is a reminder that our commitment to creating opportunity, especially for young people, remains unshaken. My deepest thanks to IHS Towers for standing with us and supporting our vision to empower, uplift, and ensure every Nigerian can benefit from the Digital Economy. #NigerianExcellence

At the World Bank Digital Summit, I spoke on why connectivity is not just infrastructure—it is economic strategy. When we connect human to human, machine to machine, and human to machine, we unlock the power to gather and analyze data at unprecedented scale. This insight is what allows us to solve pressing societal challenges—from public health to agriculture, education to climate resilience—in ways we’ve never been able to before. For Nigeria and many parts of the developing world, closing the connectivity gap is no longer optional—it is the foundation for inclusive growth, productivity, and innovation. It is how we transition from a country of potential to a nation that works for all. Let’s keep building the pipes, but more importantly, let’s ensure the value flows through them. #DigitalEconomy #ConnectivityForGrowth

Yesterday, I delivered the keynote at what was arguably the largest gathering for technology and the biggest youth-driven event in Nigeria—right in the heart of Enugu. The energy was electric. The ambition was clear. And the message was simple: the future of Nigeria’s digital economy will not be built in one place—it will be co-created across the country. Enugu is showing us what’s possible when visionary leadership meets youthful innovation. This is more than a festival—it’s a movement. One that proves our brightest ideas are not ahead of us—they’re already here. Congratulations to Governor H.E. Peter Mbah, the Honourable Commissioner for Innovation, Science and Technology Prince Lawrence Ezeh, and the incredible people of Enugu State. You are lighting the path for others to follow. #EnuguTechFestival #DigitalNigeria #YouthPower #InnovationStartsHere
