## In Short: NITDA Nigeria Tech Outlook Report 2026
NITDA has unveiled the Nigeria Tech Outlook Report 2026, positioning it as a data-driven reference for policymaking and investment in Nigeria’s digital economy.

## What Happened: What NITDA Put In The Report
The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) unveiled the Nigeria Tech Outlook Report 2026 at the Digital Nigeria International Conference and Exhibition (DNICE) 2026 in Abuja. NITDA’s Director-General, Mallam Kashifu Inuwa, presented the report.

NITDA said the report sets a national baseline for tracking digital progress and gaps across financial services, telecommunications, commerce and trade, e-government, e-health, digital access, skills, trust and inclusion.

Inuwa said the research included 2,147 household interviews, 539 health facility interviews, 15 key informant interviews and 10 administrative records from relevant institutions.

Some of the findings cited include:

- 86.5% of Nigerian adults held financial accounts, but 12% accessed digital credit in the preceding 12 months.
- 40.6% of adults personally used smartphones, while 6.6% purchased goods online within the preceding three months.
- 17.9% of respondents used government services online in the preceding 12 months.
- 75.9% of adults were willing to use telemedicine (remote doctor visits using phone or video) if available, while 11.3% had insurance coverage.
- 13.1% of respondents said they had experienced digital financial fraud.

NITDA also said the report includes a dashboard to make the findings accessible beyond the printed document. It said stakeholders can use it to track progress and submit feedback.

## Why It Matters: Signals For Investors And Policymakers
Inuwa said the findings can help investors identify opportunities across payments, connectivity, digital devices, e-commerce, logistics, e-government and digital health.

He also flagged challenges that need attention, including electricity supply, digital skills, affordability, interoperability (systems working together), and consumer protection.

NITDA said the report will establish an annual process for measuring Nigeria’s digital progress, reviewing targets and adjusting policies based on emerging evidence.
