Silicon Valley . . . Nigeria
Abuja Technology Village is modeled after the Silicon Valley USA, says Nigerian Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Malam Nasir el-Rufai, according to a Xinhuanet report.
Nigeria will spend $38 million on the 650-hectare development. Nigeria's Silicon Valley is expected to create some 40,000 jobs and serve as a center for technology outsourcing, the government says.
