The National Executive Council of the association complied with the directive and postponed the event till further notice.

“The eagerness to attend the event by telecoms and ICT enthusiasts, is fuelled because of its strategic objectives and the caliber of people that have been penciled to do justice to the theme of the event and the sub-themes.
“For instance, some state governments, the World Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the relevant government ministries and agencies and the entire telecoms and ICT industry have conveyed their acceptance and willingness to make presentations and serve as panelists at the event,” he said.
The event will be streamed live on various social media platforms — Youtube, Facebook — and Zoom, among others.

“Attendance at the event would be strictly by invitation and COVID-19 protocols would be observed,” Olude added.
