The forthcoming Indo-Africa conference on Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) has drawn the excitement of the Honourable
Minister of Communication, Barrister Abdul-Raheem Adebayo Shittu, reports ITRealms.
Reacting to the recent endorsement of the conference by his
Indian counterpart, Shittu promised Nigeria’s cooperation and participation to
ensure a successful and worthwhile event for the good of India and Nigeria as
well as the ICT industry in general.
“We are delighted about the idea of this event, and from
Nigeria we will put in our best to ensure the programme comes out very well,”
he declared, stressing that India and Nigeria share a lot in common, and ICT
currently being very topical globally, it is in the interest of both countries
to pool resources to deliver results for their common peoples.
ITRealms gathered from
the organisers, the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council
(TEPC) that the event would include a key highlight by ICT Ministers’
Roundtable Meeting scheduled for September 6, on the theme ‘Digital Vision of
the Developing Nations.”
This, ITRealms further
gathered from the organisers, would be a platform for ministers to present and
share the ICT visions of their countries over the next five years, thereby
showcasing partnership opportunities that such vision would bring to the
industry at large for the two regions.
TEPC is working in conjunction with the National Association
of Software and Service Companies, (NASSCOM), which is the premier trade body
and the chamber of commerce of the IT-BPM industries in India. NASSCOM is a
global trade body with more than 1800+ members, which include both Indian and
multinational companies that have a presence in India.
Also TEPC is partnering with industry associations in
Nigeria, including the Information Technology Association of Nigeria (ITAN),
Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Association of
Telecom Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Institute of Software Practitioners of
Nigeria (ISPON), Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) as well as the Computer and
Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN) to make the event a
full industry-focused programme.
ITAN President, Mr. Tayo Adeniyi, ALTON Chairman, Engr.
Gbenga Adebayo, ATCON President, Engr. Olusola Teniola, among others, have so
far been listed to speak at the event, while more are to be confirmed as the
days go by.
