Ministerial Welcome

“It is my pleasure to welcome you to this West & Central Africa Com congress, which is taking place for the first time in Nigeria. Telecommunications is a unique tool for economic growth and development in the region. In Nigeria we are fully aware of the great opportunities that telecommunications can bring to a country, and we have taken the lead in creating a dynamic, high growth communications market. That is why I encourage you to join us to this event and share your experiences, your challenges and your best practices. The debate, and the forging of new partnerships that it enables, will help create a dynamic telecommunications sector in West & Central Africa, thus making the region a dynamic innovation hub in Africa.”
