Delivering the lecture titled: “Impact of ICT Diffusion in the Nigerian Economy”, he said the Nigerian economy had tremendously improved with the application of ICT.

Sodiya, whose lecture was delivered by an associate professor of computer science in the University of Ibadan, Oluwaseyitanfunmi Osunade, said agriculture, telecommunication, education, tourism, music and many more had developed because of the coming of ICT.

Speaking about the diffusion of ICT in Nigeria, he said: “There is a clear North-South divide for both internet and mobile diffusion. Both North-West and North-East zones sit at the bottom of the rankings whereas South-West, propelled by both Lagos and Ogun, and North-Central, where FCT is located, are well ahead of the rest.”

The head of department of computer science in the institution, Dr Philip Achimugu, explained that the conference was designed to further provide knowledge for the people in the sector.

He said the conference with the theme, “data science and its application”, was to determine tools and applications that can be implemented in order to enhance information dissemination and service delivery in the Nigerian economy.
