The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Executive Vice Chairman , Prof Umar Danbatta, will provide insight and policy direction on a number of topical issues, trending technologies and innovations, at the 10th edition of the eWorld Forum and Awards. Already, the Commission has identified with the forum. This comes on the heel of a similar one from the Association of Licensed Telecom Companies of Nigeria (ALTON).
Leading IT expert, Mr Chris Uwaje, and new President of Nigerian Internet Registration Association (NIRA), Muhammed Rudman, are also billed to participate in the panel discussions that will follow the lead papers. They will join Danbatta and ALTON’s Gbenga Adebayo.
Also to provide rich content and different perspectives to the discussions are Aremu Olajide an engineer, former Technical Head of Glo Mobile, and now CEO of ExpertTeam and Gbenga Sesan of Paradigm Initiatives. More speakers are expected to join the team of lead speakers and panelists at the event.
The theme of this year’s forum is: “Nigeria’s Roadmap to Broadband Everywhere”. The Forum and Awards will come up on June 5, 2019 at the Oriental Hotel, Lekki, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The forum is coming at a time when the Global Broadband Commission is calling on nations and agencies to make investment in digital infrastructure a top priority in order to achieve the goal of connecting the remaining half of the global population.
Publisher of eWorldNews and Ajomedia CEO Aaron Ukodie, organisers of the event, said discussions at the forum are to focus around the trending talks on broadband, the 5G evolution and the various arguments and viewpoints that attend to the new technology platform.
Perspectives on smart cities and hotspots everywhere vision would feature while more light would be shed on the state of the Infracos and the NCC last mile vision.
