The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Denmark to strengthen collaboration on digital transformation and innovation aimed at driving inclusive economic growth.

The agreement was signed in Lagos during the NORDIC Nigeria Connect Conference themed “Forging Partnerships for Sustainable Impact.”

At the conference, Lagos and Enugu State governments also pledged partnership with NORDIC countries to boost technology, agriculture, energy, seaport development, and trade.
