4 Dr. V. O. Olatunji: Secretary FOREWORD Information Technology (IT) is the world's fastest growing body of knowledge that is transforming resource-based economies to knowledge-based economies. Information services, products and production processes are evolving rapidly. Knowledge engineering is replacing pure data and information oriented engineering. The engine of IT as a global agent for societal change and transformation in an emerging knowledge economy is software. Software is a tool for good governance, optimal productivity, transparency and accountability with a proven potential to contribute to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Software is the new paradigm shift in the history of human development with immense ability to bridge the economic gap between the developed and developing nations. Given the existing political and socio-economic status of Nigeria in West Africa and Africa, the potentials exist for the emergence of Nigeria as a global competitor in the software market with ancillary beneficial impact of poverty alleviation, gender equality, wealth and job creation in the society. There is evidence that the domestic market for software products and services is huge as exemplified by the increasing activity of global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), penetration of Internet connectivity and mobile phone usage, growth of national database, knowledge discovery, data mining, emergency response systems and a host of other platforms. The challenge facing Nigeria is how much of this market opportunity is linked to the emergence of a vibrant local software economy and capability, as opposed to net negative capital flight and job losses to international competition. Thus, while indigenous software is capable of reducing the existing capital flight through foreign software, it also has the capacity to attract tremendous foreign earnings desirable for accelerated growth of Nigerian economy. In 2004, National Software Development Task Force (NSDTF) was set up by the Federal Government while National Software Development Initiatives (NSDI) was sponsored and organized by the private sector to provide a Road Map for software development in Nigeria. The 2005 recommendations of NSDTF and NSDI have not been backed up with any legislative and regulatory framework. It is imperative that Nigeria develops a software policy in order to align software as a National Critical Infrastructure (NCI) for national goals, aspirations and empowerment. The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), in December 6, 2010, set up the National Software Policy Committee (NSPC) with members drawn from a broad spectrum of stakeholders to develop a National Software Policy (NSP) aimed at providing a blueprint to make Nigeria a competitive country in the area of software development. This document which is the product of NSPC is organized in three parts. Part One presents the Terms of Reference of NSPC, NSP Vision, Mission and areas of focus, and breakdown of NSP statements. Part Two presents the objectives of the NSP and the indicators of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of the software sector of Nigerian economy. Part Three presents the National Software Policy with emphasis on the policy statement, policy objectives and policy strategies of the seven areas of focus, namely: software human capital; software infrastructure; software fiscal policy; software industry economics; software legislative, regulatory and institutional frameworks; software and national development strategy; and software research, innovation and development. NITDA, currently, aims at developing a strategic plan for the implementation of NSP. Page iv
