According to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, online vendors will enjoy incentives including provision of a free domain name to help entrepreneurs and investors migrate from traditional ways of running business in Nigeria.

Pantami who spoke at the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, NIPR, Federal Capital Territory Chapter’s 2019 Annual General Meeting and Conference noted that the government will also develop laws that would protect these businesses online.

“We are still working on some subsidiary legislations and regulatory instruments that would protect businesses online. This is because if people migrate, they need to be protected. We are also working on all these things and I hope that by the middle of next year, a lot would be achieved in those areas,” Pantami said.
