The tech sector, in general, is booming and has a lot of potential. In the whole world, technology has come to stay, and one way or the other,
Funding is usually critical for any programme to be successful. I think this Act, when it was put together, should paid attention to that. So, that N10bn is already part of the Act, which means that hopefully, every year, there is something earmarked to contribute. But looking at the big picture and overall objectives, we even need more funding from the private sector and so on. But this will go a long way in building capacity.

The banking sector is one of the most affected by this trend and there have been a number of cases where there is a shortage of talent and the system isn’t really working well. You know some insecurities issues. I think this is one of the downsides of this. But in terms of government support, there is no shortcut to these things. The question we should ask ourselves is what is causing the trend? The government has to put a number of things in place, not just directly on this issue.
