Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for greater African influence in shaping global telecommunications and digital policies.
He said that the continent must move beyond participation to actively driving decisions that will determine the future of digital technologies.
Speaking at the High-Level Segment of the 7th Ordinary Session of the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) Conference of Plenipotentiaries (CPL-26) in Abuja, Shettima said Africa’s priorities have for too long been underrepresented in global technology governance.
Represented by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Senator Ibrahim Hadejia, the Vice President reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to regional digital cooperation, innovation and inclusive technology development.
