In a move to solidify Nigeria’s position as a technological powerhouse in Africa, a strategic meeting was held recently between Dr. Aminu Maida, Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), and his team, with the goal of aligning NASENI and NCC’s strengths. This collaborative effort aims to foster a robust digital and manufacturing ecosystem, placing Nigeria at the forefront of Africa’s tech landscape.
Dr. Maida, appointed by President Bola Tinubu in October 2023, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously served as Executive Director of Technology and Operations at Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc (NIBSS). His expertise will undoubtedly play a crucial role in driving this initiative forward.
The meeting is hailed as a significant step towards achieving Nigeria’s technological aspirations, with the discussion focusing on harnessing the collective strengths of NASENI and NCC to create a thriving ecosystem. This synergy is expected to propel Nigeria to the forefront of Africa’s digital transformation.
As Nigeria continues to push boundaries in the tech space, this partnership is a testament to the country’s commitment to innovation and progress. With Dr. Maida at the helm, the NCC is poised to drive growth, enhance digital infrastructure, and cement Nigeria’s status as a tech leader in Africa.
