These efforts have culminated in Anambra State being recognized by the Federal Government of Nigeria as the leading state in ICT infrastructure development, e-government innovation, digital technology development, and digital technology human capital development.

Together, they are working towards the establishment of a unique tech hub - Africa's Silicon Valley - through the Solution Innovation District (SID). The impact of SID has been evident, with over 60,000 youths reached, 25,000 equipped with essential tech skills and 40,000 young ndi Anambra positively impacted.
