The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is set to launch the maiden edition of its Digital Awareness and Sensitization Fora, a landmark initiative aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s digital ecosystem through inclusive policies, infrastructure development, and innovative solutions.
In a statement in Abuja on Sunday, Nnenna Ukoha, Head of Public Affairs, said the fora are designed to foster an enabling environment that supports innovation, inclusion, and the expansion of digital infrastructure—laying a solid foundation for national development.
According to SINL Nigeria Online, the inaugural edition, themed “Leaving No One Behind: Digital Assets, Equity, and Empowerment,” will hold on November 13, 2025, bringing together industry experts, policymakers, and community stakeholders to discuss practical strategies for bridging the digital divide.
