From Walter Ukaegbu, Abuja
The Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, is currently representing Nigeria at an international conference on African Internet Governance, in Algiers, Algeria.
The conference, jointly organised by the Algerian Ministry of Communications Technology and the African Development Bank, is meant to serve as a platform for discussing the possibilities of coordination in terms of Internet governance in African countries and mainly the issues of the equitable sharing of the Internet-generated revenue.
Rich and constructive discussions are expected to be held around the main concerns related to the cyberworld and will be led by African and international experts from the ministry. Also, there will be the installation of the Trans-Sahara Backbone Liaison Committee on the margins of the conference.
Shittu will participate in discussions that centre around security of cyber Africa in general and as it affects the interests of the country.
The outcome of the conference is expected to impact the use of Internet in the country vis-à-vis other countries in Africa. It is expected to also shore up the country’s Internet revenue.
