The strategic importance of local content in the information communications technology (ICT) sector and the opportunities inherent in the pursuit of Local Content in Nigeria appear to be limitless.
ICT is crosscutting and it is an enabler for growth and development and will address the science and technology deficit noticeable in the economy as well as provide maximum benefit to the citizenry.
The Association of Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) said the much-expected growth in the ICT sector can only be realized through closer international cooperation and strategic collaboration with a county, such as India that has demonstrated its love for ICT and has recorded a great feat in that regard.
Its President, Olusola Teniola, who presented a paper at a forum in Lagos, identified the 10 key strategies contained in the Geneva Action Plan, which Africa’s Heads of States and Government agreed to and signed at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in December 2013 to include: connect villages with ICTs and community access points; connect universities, colleges, secondary schools, and primary school with ICTs; connect scientific and research centres with ICTs; connect public libraries, cultural centres, museum, post office and archives with ICTs; connect health centres and hospital with ICTs; and connect all local government departments and establish websites and email addresses.
