 Finally, the seventh category is in broadband policies to promote women's digital empowerment. And it goes to the Federal Ministry of Communication and Technology from Nigeria. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished delegates, I'm delighted to receive this award on behalf of the federal government of Nigeria. Being one of the recipients of the Maiden GemTech Awards from the ITU and UN Women is an important recognition and validation of President Jonathan's administration on gender inclusion and empowerment facilitated by information and communication technologies. It is now an empirical fact that there is an underrepresentation of women and girls in ICTs, whether in terms of access, in terms of utilization or employment. There are many more men that are online than women, and the gap is even wider in developing economies such as Nigeria. Women account for fewer than 20% of ICT specialists in developing economies, where it is estimated that in 2015, 90% of formal employment across all sectors will require ICT skills. According to our last population census in 2006, women make up 49% of the Nigerian population, and current estimates and future projections say that this will be the same going forward. In the light of the importance of information and communication technologies to national development, closing this gender-digital divide has become a development priority for us in Nigeria. We cannot afford to exclude half our population from the benefits of ICT for development. Three flagship programs are helping us to make progress towards our quest to empower women through ICTs. Our Digital Girls Clubs in Secondary Schools is helping girls develop an early interest in computers and in the ICT sector in general. Our 1000 Girls program is building up the ICT skillset of select group of unemployed girls to fill vacant ICT jobs in the country, and our Smart Women program is a platform for disseminating relevant and useful information to Nigerian women via their mobile phones. I must at this point thank our various partners that have worked closely with us to design and implement these programs. The Federal Minister of Finance for her gender-based budgeting allocations to support our programs, Women in Technology and Women Technology Empowerment Center, two NGOs that worked with us to develop the Digital Girls online curriculum, Huawei Technologies that has provided the facilitators and the physical venues for training young girls, and Women in Management and Business, an NGO that is providing the editorial services for content on the Smart Women platform. Finally, my thanks go to the ITU, UN Women and her partners. It is a great honour for our work to be recognised by these important multilateral organisations, and we are spurred to do even more. I wish you more success in your global quest to get more women and girls into ICTs. Thank you.
