The event organized by IT & Telecom Digest, has been described as the de facto benchmark for measuring performance, rewarding excellence and upholding quality as well as fuelling growth in the ICT sector in Nigeria.

According to the Editor-in-Chief, IT & Telecom Digest, Mr. Mkpe Abang, this year’s event will be the ultimate consummation and consolidation of the gains recorded in the telecom and IT sector in the last eight years.
