Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT) Ltd, has hailed Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Pantami on his appointment to Chair the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) Forum by the International Telecommunication Union, (ITU).
This is contained in a statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Affairs and Special Project of NIGCOMSAT, Mr. Adamu Idris, in Abuja on Thursday.
The Managing Director, NIGCOMSAT Ltd, Dr. Abimbola Alale, expressed joy and satisfaction with the choice of the Minister adding that it was due to his diligence, hard work, and passion for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Industry.
Alale said there couldn’t have been any better choice to lead the forum session recognizing the tremendous impact of Pantami’s leadership in the ICT industry in the country.
“Since Pantami assumed duty as the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, the focus and direction of the industry on the Nigeria economy has changed to a more fruitful, impactful, and growing one,’’ Alale said.
Alale said that recognizing him to Chair such an important and global event could not be unconnected with his role and policies in the growth and contribution of the ICT sector to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
