gathered that top Nigerian CEOs from diverse sectors of the economy will be
gathering on October 30 at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Lagos, to
deliberate on how the influence of telecommunications could contribute 25 per
cent to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Themed
“How Telecoms Can Contribute 25 per cent to the GDP by 2025”, the Impact CEO
Forum would focus on the recently rebased GDP figures, which revealed that
Nigeria’s telecommunications sector is “a star performer in the economy”.
Organiser
of the event, ICT Watch Network, Mr. Tayo Adewusi, said as more sectors of the
Nigerian economy appreciate the importance of telecommunications in improving
their productivity and efficiency, there is a need to have an open platform
where “C-level executives of various sectors will meet the telecommunication
companies to discuss current trends and make realizable projections into the
future”.
Adewusi
said Impact CEO Forum is envisioned as the foremost influential meeting of
top-level executives who will assess the impression of telecom on their
businesses. As such, he informed, the event has attracted about 50 CEOs and 300
participants from all sectors of the economy from telecoms, agriculture,
banking, entertainment, broadcasting and manufacturing, ITRealms
