Nigeria, along with other developing countries, is set to benefit from the UK government’s £37.3 million support for the Mobile for Development Program. The funding, announced by the UK’s Development Minister, Andrew Mitchell at the 2024 Mobile World Congress, aims to expand access to mobile and digital technologies. This initiative has already aided over 100 million people, targeting 110 million more, particularly 60 million women. The partnership, involving GSMA and the private sector, focuses on tackling climate change, creating jobs, and boosting opportunities. For example, in Nigeria, AI aids farmers through real-time advice and solar-powered fridges. This underscores how mobile technology can drive socio-economic change and meet UN Global Goals.
