Meta, the parent company of Instagram, announced plans to introduce a new feature on the social media platform in June 2024, enabling Nigerian creators to monetize their content.
Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, revealed this during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa.
The feature aims to empower Nigerian creators to earn a livelihood through the platform. Clegg expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for facilitating an executive order crucial to Meta-backed deep-sea cable infrastructure landing in Nigeria.
This infrastructure project, set to commence in the first quarter of 2025, is anticipated to have a $37 billion economic impact across Africa in the next few years.
President Tinubu emphasized Nigeria’s readiness to lead the continent in digital technology, stressing the importance of preparing youths for the AI-enabled future.
He pledged his administration’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for technological advancement and fostering partnerships to drive digital economic expansion.
Minister Bosun Tijani highlighted the significance of Meta platforms in Nigeria and called for collaborative efforts to promote development in the digital economy sector and connect Africa to global prosperity.

OPEN LETTER TO Mr Mark Zuckerberg.
My name is Shan George, I’m the President of AGFB (Association of Grandmas on Facebook) a movie producer and actress in Nollywood.
I’m very pained at d gruesome and expensive process young upcoming Nigerian content creators go through to get their pages monitized, even after creating loads of very awesome contents and meeting all Facebook requirements for their pages to get monitized, the reason being that Nigeria is not ELIGIBLE for monitization. What I’m about to bring to your notice may not be attended to maybe, based on the fact that few greedy digital business operators are hugely benefiting from this policy, while they sit at home, as these young creators toil day and night to create and upload contents without seeing the fruits of their labour, bcos most of these digital business operators are shylocks, creating a scenerio of MONKEY DEY WORK BABOON DEY CHOP
