The country called for a more equitable global pandemic preparedness system, urging increased financing, technology transfer, and stronger manufacturing capacity across Africa. Separately, Nigeria showcased its readiness to deliver globally competitive, technology-enabled services, particularly in AI-augmented services, while outlining evolving frameworks for data protection and digital identity.
Why it matters
The statements outline a strategic push for Africa to leverage its manufacturing potential and digital services to achieve global competitiveness. This includes establishing robust frameworks for data protection, sovereign cloud, and digital infrastructure assurance to attract global business.
