The future is in our hands. You have all it takes to ensure that Nigeria does not suffer from lack of digitalization, digital products, services, and digital awareness.

NYIGF 2022
For an Internet that is going to be considered universal, such an ecosystem would be one that is rights-based, open, accessible to all, and one that provides meaningful connectivity.
