According to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Mr Isa Pantami, the broadplan (2020-2025) is designed to deepen internet penetration in the country and as such the President commissioned the National Emergency Call Centre,which is expected to link Abuja residents with the Police, fire service and federal road safety officials during an emergency.

The emergency number, 112, is toll-free and the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, which is in charge of the project,is said to be working on linking the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control to the call centre, in light of the corona-virus outbreak sweeping through the world.

President Buhari also launched the Digital Nigeria program, which is designed to equip young Nigerians with digital and entrepreneurial skills and he finally unveiled a communication and Digital Economy Complex  which is to be operated by the Ministry.
