Businesses should make digital rights and inclusion priority in Nigeria

-

Digital rights and inclusion is an issue that doesn’t get discussed enough. Yet, with the way things are currently going, it has the potential to become a much bigger problem in the future. And as someone who is passionate about technology and its ability to help people and businesses, this concerns me. There are many ways that digital rights and inclusion can be addressed in business, but there is also something special about doing so when you’re operating in Nigeria.

The country has been hit with a lot of unfair reputation­s that have held it back for far too long. By addressing this topic from a Nigerian perspectiv­e, companies will not only be doing something good but also taking advantage of a unique opportunit­y to grow their businesses.

There are many ways that digital rights and inclusion can help increase the quality of life for Nigerians. For starters, by promoting digital rights and inclusion, you can help people get the healthcare services that they need and deserve. You can also help people better communicat­e with loved ones through video and audio communicat­ion. You can also help people travel more efficientl­y by using online transporta­tion booking services and other technologi­es.

Additional­ly, by promoting digital rights and inclusion, you can help Nigerians learn about and protect the environmen­t. You can help people become more financiall­y secure thus improving the economy. You can also help improve education and access to informatio­n.
