The former Minister for Youth and Sports Development, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi has called for the amendment of the recently signed Nigeria StartUp Act to include the Ministry of Youth Development in the council for digital innovation and entrepreneurship.
Abdullahi said without such amendment, the act would be missing the coordinating power of the youth ministry, which is critical to the effective implementation of the new law.
Bolaji, who is a Kwara Central PDP senatorial candidate, while commending President Muhammadu Buhari for his assent to the law, noted that the act will open the country for greater investment in the digital economy and unleash the huge potential of our youths for greater competitiveness.
