Infopreneurship: A Catalyst for Knowledge Economy Development in Nigeria
Review Article Multidisciplinary

Abstract

As the world evolves especially towards the path of global development, knowledge has become a very essential economic resource, beyond physical and financial capital. This opinion paper explores infopreneurship- a discipline that is concerned with the entrepreneurial use of information as a transformative tool on the voyage of Nigeria’s transition toward a knowledge-based economy. Anchored in qualitative content analysis, the paper draws from recent scholarly works (2021-2025) and digital economy reports to critically discuss how infopreneurship enhances innovation, employment, and value creation through information products and services. It also evaluates the structural challenges hindering its growth, including digital illiteracy, inadequate infrastructure, and policy gaps. The paper concludes by recommending strategic policy interventions, public private collaborations, and educational reforms to institutionalize infopreneurial practice as a sustainable engine of Nigeria’s knowledge economy.
