The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Enugu State Government agree on a strategic 15-year lease covering the NCC’s Digital Industrial Park and Learning Centre. The arrangement is sealed in a ceremony on Tuesday, and it provides for the state government to take over and optimise the facilities. Coverage of the event frames the decision as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s digital economy agenda through better use of existing infrastructure and learning resources.
Premium Times reports that the NCC’s leadership, including its chief executive officer, acknowledges Enugu State’s ongoing initiatives, including the governor’s Smart Schools programme and other steps aimed at expanding infrastructure and digital capacity. Daily Post Nigeria similarly describes the lease as a major boost tied to the wider digital economy agenda.
