The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu, recently received a prestigious delegation from Meta (formerly Facebook) on a courtesy visit to the House of Representatives. 

Leading the delegation was none other than the President of Meta Global Affairs and former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Nick Clegg. 

The visit of the delegation from Meta to the House of Representatives, led by Sir Nick Clegg, presents a significant opportunity for Nigeria to accelerate the growth of its digital economy. 

The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu, expressed his delight at the visit and emphasized the importance of a multifaceted approach to promoting digital innovation, data protection, and e-commerce in the country.


Nigeria, with its young and tech-savvy population, represents a vast market for online businesses. The potential for growth in the digital economy is immense, and strategic collaborations with major stakeholders such as Meta can help unlock this potential. 

The Deputy Speaker assured the delegation that the 10th House of Representatives is committed to creating a regulatory environment that is conducive to innovation and commerce, benefiting both technology companies and Nigerian citizens.

In recent years, Nigeria has made significant strides in the digital space, with the government implementing policies to promote digital inclusion and entrepreneurship. 

However, there is still much work to be done to fully harness the potential of the digital economy. Collaborations with global tech companies like Meta can provide valuable expertise and resources to help Nigeria achieve its digital goals.

One of the key areas of focus in the discussion between the delegation from Meta and the House of Representatives was data protection. 

As more and more Nigerians engage in online activities, the need to safeguard their personal information becomes increasingly important. 

The Deputy Speaker emphasized the importance of robust data protection laws and regulations to ensure the privacy and security of Nigerian citizens online.

Furthermore, e-commerce presents a significant opportunity for economic growth in Nigeria. With the right policies and infrastructure in place, online businesses can thrive and create jobs for the country's youth. 

Collaborations with companies like Meta can help drive innovation in the e-commerce sector and create new opportunities for Nigerian entrepreneurs.

In conclusion, the visit of the delegation from Meta to the House of Representatives is a positive step towards accelerating the growth of Nigeria's digital economy. 

By fostering partnerships with global tech companies and creating a supportive regulatory environment, Nigeria can unlock its full potential in the digital space. 

The Deputy Speaker's commitment to promoting digital innovation and commerce in the country is commendable, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact of these collaborations in the years to come.
