The first Internet amazon and former
Admin Contact for the Nigeria’s country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD), .ng,
Mrs. Ibukun Odusote, has been named the chairperson of the Nigeria IPv6
Roundtable 2013, which is on its fourth edition.
The organizers of the event, DigitalSENSE
Africa Media, through its Executive Director, Operations, Mrs. Nkemdilim Nweke,
told DigitalSENSE Business News in Lagos, that the nomination of Mrs. Odusote to preside over the
2013 edition of the Roundtable was unanimously adopted by the management board
of her company.
She noted that the one-day Nigeria
IPv6 Roundtable 2013 is held annually in commemoration of the World Internet
Protocol version Six (IPv6) in the country, every June 6, with this year’s theme
as “IPv6 and Mobile Services in Nigeria.”
Mrs. Nweke also said that several
companies who intend to play in the IPv6 industry are gearing up for the
commemoration by booking a space for exhibition of some products akin to IPv6.
She pointed out that Mrs. Odusote
pedigree in the Internet industry in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasised
beginning from when she became the Admin contact for .ng and later grew to
become director, IT at the Information and Communications.
Noting that as the national
coordinator of Digital Peers International, Mrs. Odusote has proven that
Nigerian women can really play the role of champion in Internet evolution and
as pioneer in several fronts in encouraging children to adopt to Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT).
She revealed that the event would
hold on Thursday, June 6, this year with a keynote addresses by the Executive
Vice Chairman (EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Eugene
Juwah and Director-General of the National Information Technology Development
Agency (NITDA), Prof. Cleopas Angaye, among other speakers have been scheduled to
grace the Nigeria IPv6 Roundtable 2013.
“For this year, we are good to go
and every much excited with the acceptance of Mrs. Odusote to make the
difference, moreso as the first woman to preside the Nigeria IPV6 Roundtable,”
she observed.
She urged stakeholders across the
Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), especially those playing in
the Internet industry to take advantage of this roundtable by actively
participating.
Mrs. Nweke called to mind that
following the allocation of the last batch of the Internet Protocol version 4
(IPv4) addresses by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) it became
imperative for the deployment of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
