<p>The Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has officially commissioned the Digital Industrial Park (DIP) in Kano, a landmark initiative aimed at accelerating Nigeria’s digital transformation from the grassroots. The project, which had long been anticipated by stakeholders in the tech and innovation space, is expected to serve as a catalyst for economic growth and digital inclusion in Northern Nigeria.</p><div class="02hNDTj2" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The commissioning ceremony, held at the park’s premises, marked a pivotal moment in the Federal Government’s broader strategy to bridge the digital divide. Although the facility was completed in 2024, it suffered extensive damage during the nationwide protest of August 1, 2024. Its restoration was made possible through the intervention of IHS Towers, a key private sector partner, whose support has now brought the park back to life and ready for full-scale operations.</p>
<p>Speaking on behalf of the Kano State Government, Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, who represented Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, expressed deep gratitude to the Minister for his unwavering commitment to the state. He praised Dr. Tijani’s foresight in fostering public-private partnerships that are vital to the success of digital infrastructure projects.</p>
<p>“Dr. Bosun Tijani’s unwavering love for Kano and his innovative decision to involve private sector players, like IHS Towers, in supporting government-led digital projects, shows that Nigeria’s digital future is in safe hands,” the Governor said. “This park is not just a facility; it is a symbol of opportunity, hope, and the digital awakening of Northern Nigeria.”</p>
