It also hosts private sector stakeholders who make presentations in return to the government stakeholders. For example, at the 3rd edition of the event, female developer, Chika Uwazie was able to address the forum on issues relating to the lack of patronage of local software as well as the huge funding gap for start-ups in that field.
At the last edition, the Acting President was clear about his desire to partner with the private sector – especially those in the creative and digital economies in strengthening the economy.
