The Nigeria Information Technology Reporters Association (NITRA) and the Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) are partnering to host a joint-industry forum to discuss the Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) Bill and its implications for the telecom industry, reports ITREALMS.
The forum, scheduled for July 30, 2025, at CitiHeight Hotel, Ikeja, will bring together industry stakeholders to address key issues and questions surrounding the Bill.
According to NITRA Chairman, Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi, "industry stakeholders need to come around a table to broker an understanding on how to secure telecom infrastructure, standing on FG’s proclamation of CNII."
ALTON Chairman, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, emphasized the importance of proper infrastructure maintenance and tech-upgraded installation to prevent vandalism and theft, highlighting the need for collective accountability and modernized infrastructure deployment to mitigate these threats.
The conference will provide a platform for industry leaders to deliberate on the practical way forward, ensuring the effective implementation of the CNII Bill.
NITRA's General Secretary, Mr. Chidiebere Nwankwo, noted that the forum will afford the public opportunity to share their thoughts, especially as it regards the security of infrastructure in their localities.
He also listed some benefits of the forum to include collaboration and knowledge sharing.
By hosting this forum, NITRA and ALTON aim to ensure that the telecom infrastructure is secured in a way that benefits both the industry and the broader community.
