Galaxy Backbone would participate in the forthcoming International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) organized Telecom World 2012 exhibitions and
forum scheduled to hold in Dubai, United Arab Emirates between October 14
and 18 October 2012, as a key partner of the Nigerian Pavilion.
The participation by Galaxy has been described as a key partner of the Nigerian Pavilion at the international event is an opportunity to further demonstrate Federal Government’s commitment to leverage the benefits of the ICTs for the transformation agenda.
“Galaxy’s participation is a demonstration our passionate desire to drive the use of ICT in the public sector and the provision of pervasive infrastructural platform that supports the delivery of e-Government services by government MDAs to Nigerian citizens. This also supports our vision of enabling digital inclusion as a powerful developmental tool for bridging the poverty gap in the country. More importantly, Nigeria’s participation will not only to showcase her achievements in the ICT sector, but also highlight the immense business opportunities in the sector and related industries, for the variety of investors who will be attending the global event”.
ITU Telecom World 2012 is taking place at a rather auspicious time especially with the expected role ICTs will play in transforming government and governance towards improved economic development. Moreover, this year’s event with the theme, “Connect, Collaborate and Create the Future ICT Landscape” provides Galaxy with the platform-to showcase its achievements in connecting and enabling collaboration within Government.
At Dubai, countries from across the African continent will join other national pavilions to address the overarching theme of bridging the digital divide at ITU Telecom World 2012 Pavilions representing South Africa, Burundi, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Malta, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and the Africa Lusophone countries will unite a broad range of organizations from the non-profit, private and R&D sectors with the common goal of reasserting their commitment to ICT and digital development.
ITU Telecom World 2012 will be a major milestone in addressing the issue of broadband access, and is seen as an important industry event for the developing world, providing an opportunity to benchmark local ICT sectors in terms of policy, regulation, and infrastructure development. It also enables the showcasing of local ICT, and represents an invaluable opportunity to attract inward investment and seek opportunities to engage with ICT companies from the developed world.
The ITU event is an avenue for mainstreaming Galaxy’s key messages on the concept of a connected government through 1-GOV.net which is a common government–wide platform for the provision of connectivity, hosted services, messaging and collaboration including transversal services for Federal Government Ministries Department and Agencies (MDAs)
