The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the deployment of breakthrough technologies, which have the effect of transforming how we work, shop, study, socialise, and even see the doctor in ways that are likely to stay permanent long after the epidemic is under control. Our Agenda emphasises the ways in which we can continue to promote innovation while also making certain that technologies are used in a responsible and equitable manner.
In order to facilitate the achievement of our strategic objective, we will be developing and implementing IT strategies with the purpose of improving and influencing the operational performance of the apparatus of the state. Artificial Intelligence (AI), which has the potential for Niger state expansion, together with data analytics, should be utilised to better plan for or respond to pandemics, crisis-resilient threats, and security threats, as well as detect and cure illnesses.
We are going to make use of digital technology to speed up the transition to the new normal for the state of Niger, and we are also going to provide our young people with the relevant technical knowhow and digital skills that will be essential to many of the jobs that will be in the highest demand in the not too distant future.
We are going to use information technology (IT) to leverage collaboration solutions in order to guarantee the safety of workers, make it possible for them to work remotely, migrate to digital platforms, manage risk, harmonise governance structures, keep costs under control, and make certain that government operations perform to the best of their abilities.
Increase operational resilience and cost efficiency as well as support for contactless payments by integrating sophisticated analytics and automating as much of the revenue collection process as possible.
Boost the proportion of our items sold online in order to meet the changing needs of an expanding consumer market in order to maintain our position as a competitive player in the New Niger.
We will find the most lucrative prospects in high-growth technology-enabled industries. In order to do this, corporations will need to decode and understand demand trends and drivers for digital solutions, and then map those to the recovery trajectory of a sector.
