The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has said it would host its 10th edition of the eNigeria conference to provide solutions on the development and promotion of local contents.

The information was contained in a statement by Mrs Hadiza Umar, Head, Corporate Affairs and External Relations of the agency in Abuja.

Umar stated that the conference, expected to hold between November 7 and 9, has “Fostering Digital Economy through Local Content Development and Effective Regulations” as its theme.

She noted that the 10th edition of the eNigeria conference was aimed at promoting deliberations on how Nigeria could thicken the value of its policy thrust on local content in pursuit of a national economy that was less dependent on crude oil export.

She stated that “eNigeria will bring together information technology experts, solution providers and major stakeholders from both within and outside the country.

“This is to brainstorm on current and relevant IT issues across the globe with the major aim of leveraging on them for sustainable socio-economic development of Nigeria.”

“It is also a veritable platform for ICT awareness creation, developing an appropriate framework and setting goals for best practices to enhance appropriate positioning of Nigeria in the global information society.”
