The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), through the Nigeria Office for Development of Indigenous Telecom Sector (NODITS), will hold the first expo to showcase indigenous content in the industry.
NODITS was set up last year, to realise the objectives of the National Policy on the Promotion and Implementation of Indigenous Contents in the Telecommunications Sector (NPPIC).
Director, Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, in a statement, said the event will be held between August 1 and 2 at Landmark Events Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos with, “Stimulating the Development of Indigenous Content through Innovation and Commercialisation” as the theme.
Team Lead, NODITS, Babagana Digima, said the expo is focused on bringing stakeholders in the communications value-chain together, and to provide a platform where practicable ideas and solutions can be evolved to stimulate demand and supply of indigenous solutions, technologies, human capacity and skills.
“We have invited indigenous operators, manufacturers, regulators, government agencies, policy makers, innovators, influencers, industry leaders, startups, academia and global experts to an exhibition to showcase their products and services, innovative solutions and new technologies that will help stimulate further growth of the digital economy.”
