Tech Ecosystem - Policy Engagement

A day after our independence day here in Nigeria, ICT Stakeholders and Startup founders in the Tech Ecosystem will be gathering at the CIVIC HIVE in Yaba with PolicyMakers from four different Government Agencies that can impact the ecosystem - NASS, NITDA, NUC, NIPC.

We will be engaging on the policy environment for the Tech Ecosystem and how policy makers can help make the environment better for the benefit of everyone.

From the ICT Divide, Dr Chris Uwaje will be opening up the conversation with a background layout from where we can start engaging.

CoCreation Hub, Paradigm Initiative, Leadspace, Semantics, FATE Foundation will all be represented and leading the conversations.
