It’s crucial to have policy for technology-driven learning –FlexiSAF CEO, Bashir
The Chief Executive Officer of FlexiSAF Edusoft Limited and a member of the Nigeria Startup Act 2022 Implementation Committee, Faiz Bashir, speaks with SAMI OLATUNJI on some of the challenges in the Nigerian technology sector and the way forward.
How would you describe the Nigerian tech sector, and what role is your company playing in this sector?
The tech sector, in general, is booming and has a lot of potential. In the whole world, technology has come to stay, and one way or the other, you need to key into it. The tech sector, in terms of GDP, contributes about 17 per cent in Nigeria; that is huge. That is the overall, including the telecom sector and software and so on.
For specifics, in our own case, where we deal more with software, that has also been growing. Though there are a few challenges, there is a very big potential.
