Speaking further, the Permanent Secretary disclosed that the prices of crude oil have been fluctuating in the global market, noting that the advent of COVID-19 remains an ‘eye opener’ to Nigerians to know that the time has come for us to diversify our economy and that we can no longer depend on oil alone to prosper as a country. He therefore called on the staff to leverage on the advantages which the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy offers in the area of digitalization of the nation’s economy to achieve the mandate of the Ministry and hasten the development of the national economy.

He urged the staff to be committed to their duties, remain punctual, and work with sincerity.

Nabasu emphasized the need for building the economy of Nigeria through the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy “to write our name on the sands of time.”
