For Nigeria it was a double celebration as she joined the comity of nations to observe the 2021 World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 21. It was noteworthy that Nigeria had substantial grounds to commemorate the day with the funfair it deserves.
Creativity and innovation makes the world go round. Nature recognises innovation as a core aspect of human existence. From the beginning of creation, the combination of these two phenomena have continued to transform the universe from the rustic/traditional to the highly refined/modern today.
In fact, without creativity and innovation, humanity will not be able to achieve any meaningful progress in the course of its existence. The growth of any nation is determined by the levels of creativity and innovation, because these two are the pillars of all human growth and development.

While other states are still struggling to diversify their economies, on account of their over-dependence on crude oil for survival, and key into realities of other unlocked potential, the recent launch of the “Ogun State Digital Economy Infrastructure Project (OGDEIP)” is, no doubt, a path to success to the burgeoning economy of the Gateway state and the country’s at large.
The state has taken hold of the future by making digital access available to all the citizens and businesses, and it is the most far-sighted action any government can take in the present time.
