In a bold and visionary stride towards building a resilient and data-driven economy, the Niger State Ministry of Communications Technology and Digital Economy has officially launched a pioneering Business Enumeration Exercise, kicking off in Chanchaga, Bosso, Lavun, and Gbako Local Government Areas.
This initiative is part of the broader digital transformation agenda championed by His Excellency, Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago, whose unwavering commitment to innovation continues to shape a New Niger—one that is digitally connected, economically vibrant, and inclusive.
Laying the Foundation for Smart Economic Planning
At the heart of this exercise lies a clear and crucial goal: to establish a comprehensive economic baseline for the state. By mapping the scope, scale, and nature of businesses across selected LGAs, the Ministry seeks to build a digital repository of economic data that will inform smarter policies, targeted interventions, and scalable support systems for business growth.
This isn’t just data collection—it’s strategic insight gathering that will drive effective planning and resource allocation.
“We are not only counting businesses; we are counting potential, tracking progress, and preparing Niger State for the digital economy of tomorrow.” — Ministry of Communications Technology and Digital Economy
Empowering Communities, One Business at a Time
The success of this initiative hinges on the active participation of citizens—especially business owners. Whether large or small, every business plays a role in shaping the state’s economic narrative. By contributing to the enumeration process, business owners become key stakeholders in redefining Niger State’s development trajectory.
A Call to Collaborate for Change
The Ministry is calling on residents of Chanchaga, Bosso, Lavun, and Gbako to extend their full cooperation to the enumeration teams. The process is seamless, secure, and community-focused—designed to benefit the very businesses and households it engages.
This initiative is not just about technology—it’s about people. It’s about using data to build stronger support structures for businesses, create jobs, attract investment, and ensure that no community is left behind in the journey toward digital empowerment.
Looking Ahead: The Promise of a Digitally Inclusive Niger
As we set this process in motion, the vision is clear: a Niger State that thrives on innovation, economic intelligence, and community-driven progress. The digital transformation journey has begun, and every step taken now is a step toward a smarter, more connected future.
Stay tuned for updates on the progress of the enumeration and the exciting transformations to come!
