"Collaboration between our countries gives us a platform to build on the upward trajectory of digital transformation as a driver of economic growth," he said

Tijani also stated that he and his colleague at India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had inked an MoU to share digital solutions for the benefit of both countries' citizens.
