…Regrets Nigeria’s slow pace as India, China shoot ahead

Niger Delta region must move its hope and economy from oil to technology especially startup.

This is as the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has urged Nigerian IT buffs to move from startup to scale up.

These were the highlights on the opening day of the 2026 edition of the Port Harcourt Tech Exposition (PHTECHEXPO26) which was unveiled Thursday, June 11, 2026.

Samuel Ogbuku, managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who unveiled the two-day event, made it clear that tech is a leveler; it is for both the rich and poor.
