President Muhammadu Buhari has prohibited government officials from using their personal email accounts for official purposes.

While noting that “the National Policy on Nigeria Government Second-Level Domains is a welcome step in this direction,” he directed that all government officials should refrain from using private emails for official purposes and Federal Public institutions (FPIs) must migrate their websites to the relevant government domains.

According to a statement by presidential spokesman Femi Adesina, the President stated this Thursday at the State House in Abuja, when he unveiled and launched two new policies developed by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.

According to the President, the digital economy sector has been the most successful in diversifying the nation’s economy, saving the Federal Government over N45.7 billion in IT project clearance.

President Buhari linked the two policies to the diversification and prosperity of the economy, saying that the National Policy on Nigerian Government Second-Level Domains and the National Data Policy are critical to accelerating the development of the nation’s digital economy sector, and that this administration would continue to develop policies and programs in support of economic diversification:

“In the last three and a half years, we have intensified the development of policies, design of programmes and implementation of projects in the digital economy sector and the impact has been very impressive.

“For example, we have succeeded in diversifying our economy to a large extent and this is obvious when we consider the contribution of the ICT sector to our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the second quarter of 2022 which stood at 18.44%, compared to the contribution of the oil sector to the GDP which was 6. 33% in the same period,” he said.

The President stated that Nigeria’s progress toward a thriving digital economy began on October 17, 2019 with the redesignation and restructuring of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, emphasizing that the changes have been phenomenal.

“We are proud of the great strides of our digital economy sector and the impact it has had on the different sectors of our economy and I commend the Honourable Minister for being committed to the implementation of the digital economy mandate.

“As part of our commitment towards ensuring the sustainability of our gains in the digital economy sector, we have taken steps to institutionalise the process by developing relevant policies and strategies,” President Buhari further stated.
