Digital Africa is currently in Abuja. African ICT Ministers, tech diplomats,and regulators are convening for the 7th #ATU Conference.

@___Taurean___ Chimsom was just human. And with every human there are goods and there are bads. The fact that people could not just see him as human was just saddening. I wish him all the best. He brought light to the show.

Foreign policy is changing. Nigeria’s recent move to establish a Cyber Diplomacy Unit within the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs raises an important question: Is Nigeria prepared to move from being a consumer of global tech norms to becoming a shaper of them?

Yesterday, 29th April 2026, I was appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by H.E President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I am truly honored to step into this new position, and wish to express my most profound appreciation to our Nation's President. Your Excellency, I am truly humbled by your trust and confidence in my abilities.

I look forward to contributing even more to the continued success of the 4D Foreign Policy Priorities of the Renewed Hope Agenda, our citizen diplomacy imperatives, and reaffirm to the good people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, my unwavering commitment towards advancing our National Interests in the global arena.

#thankyou

@BwalaDaniel This is embarrassing for even me, who is patriotic and has purposed to support any government that is in power. I sincerely think the BAT government needs to do better in his media team.

[Wogu Ugonna @pearl_ugonna]

@RetsonTedheke01 Happy birthday sir,
You definitely look good for 50.

Access to free data for learning will have a direct, immediate and long lasting impact on our country.

I’ve written about why zero-rating educational websites is the most urgent and affordable digital policy decision we can make right now.

Nigeria is moving from potential to positioning.

[Wogu Ugonna @pearl_ugonna]
