ITU AND NIGERIA ACADEMIA MAP OUT STRATEGY FOR 2017
AS EVC DECLARES 2017 CONSUMER YEAR.

The Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta officially declared opened, a workshop to facilitate greater linkages between the academia in Nigeria and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

The 2-Day workshop which took place at the Digital Bridge Institute, Abuja targets scholars from Nigerian universities - two universities selected from each of Nigeria's geopolitical zones are represented by one participant each nominated by their respective institutions.

Professor Danbatta told the participants that the workshop is organised to apprise them with the workings of the ITU which are basically in three areas - Radiocommunication, Standards, and Development. He noted that all these functions essentially find expression through study groups.

The ITU, Danbatta recalled, allocates global radio spectrum and satellite orbits; develops the technical standards that ensure networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect; and strives to improve access to ICTs by underserved communities worldwide as a key development agenda.

The overarching purpose and objective of the workshop, the EVC said to the participants, is to make sure Nigeria continue its good work within the ITU and ensure her interests in relation to the National ICT Policy are protected and indeed enhanced. This explains why "we have identified the need to collaborate with the academia in the area of research within the ITU".

Participants who appeared quite enthusiastic about the workshop were nudged to recall that collaboration between the University and Industry is an important component for national development. Such collaboration promotes innovation and technology transfer, skills development, research and development, as well as entrepreneurship.

This workshop, which opens a new vista of partnership that will shape national development goals, is indeed both a constitutive and instrumental component of the 8-Point Agenda unveiled by Danbatta on assumption of office.
