NCS president, Sir, Demola Aladekomo, told DigitalSENSE Business News at a media briefing that the four-day conference slated to hold from Wednesday 24 to Friday 27, July, 2013, at the Royal Park Hotel, Iloko Ijesa, Osun State, Nigeria.

He noted that annually, the conference addresses critical national and global IT issues and concerns, which attracts practitioners, decision makers, policy makers and professionals from Nigeria from across the world.

Aladekomo, who was accompanied at the media briefing by the Mr. Iyiola Ayoola, Corporate Affairs Director, Dr. Vincent Asor. Chairman Education committee, Mr. Chinedu Onuoha, the Executive Secretary and Prof. Charles Uwadia, the immediate Past President of NCS, pointed out that the conference is the largest annual assembly of high-level IT stakeholders from business, industry, education, government and social communities in Nigeria.

“It is the key networking and professional event for advancing Information Technology for development and promoting the interests of IT stakeholders in the country,” he said.

 

NCS president further said that the theme of this year’s conference was borne out of need to highlight the relevance of IT to governance and National Security; to ensure real, all-inclusive development and transformation of governance through IT, while overcoming the menace of insecurity bedeviling the nation.

“You will agree with me that the recent declaration of State of Emergency in three states in the country by the President due to insecurity challenges in those states made this theme all the more compelling,” he said.
