Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland in January 2005.

Meanwhile, Nigeria will be the first country to host the much
acclaimed Digital World Conference in which not less than thirty
countries, big telecom and ICT firms will attend.

These were announced by the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC) Engr. Ernest Ndukwe at a press
conference in Abuja.

"The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), in collaboration with
the Growing Businesses Foundation (GBF) and the TT30 Club of Rome, is
hosting the Digital World Conference 2006 for the first time in Africa
at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja from September 12 -- 13, 2006.
The theme of the forthcoming conference is "ICTs for Education and
Development." he said. "This is in consonance with our vision which
aims to create an information rich environment in the country. " The
Commission believes that preparing the future of Nigeria is to educate
the young generation. Today, about seventy percent of the Nigerian
population is younger than twenty-five years old and "therein lies the
richness of our country".
