ALTON Chairman, Engr Adebayo
The chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Engr. Gbenga Adebayo, would be reviewing the latest book in the industry, entitled ‘Sagacity of a digital revolution’ authored by the award-winning journalist, Remmy Nweke.
Adebayo, according to Remmy Nweke, would on Thursday, June 9, 2022, share his thoughts as the reviewer during the public presentation of the book and formal launch slated to hold at Welcome Centre Hotels, International Airport Road, Lagos, as a sideline event of the 2022 Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum (NDSF) on Internet Governance for Development with the theme: ‘5G: Enthroning Internet Governance for Digital Economy.’
A statement endorsed by the author and Group Executive Editor, ITREALMS Media group, noted that the Executive Vice Chairman, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, would give the keynote address on the theme of the NDSF 2022.
Nweke gave some highlights on his latest book, “Sagacity of a Digital Revolution;” which is a collage of well-researched analytics on several subjects but not limited to “Diversification of Nigeria’s economy, managing oil spill without tears, 10 years after OBJ circular on local content; malady of inconclusive elections in Nigeria and role of ICTs, curtailing child malnutrition in Nigeria,” to name but a few.
In the words of the Prof. Charles Uwadia, who wrote the Foreword, “This book is particularly suited and recommended for policy makers, infrastructure planners, Chief Executive Officers and government officials in Ministries, Departments, Agencies of Local, State and Federal Government of Nigeria; other nations that share similar political and socio-economic environments with Nigeria will also find lessons to learn from the book.”
Nweke, who doubles as the Lead Consulting Strategist, DigitalSENSE Africa and Group Executive Editor, ITREALMS Media Group, said that his new work was his third book since 2012.
Other books by Nweke include: “A Decade of ICT Reportage (2012),” the award-winning series launched at the Nigeria Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) under the chairmanship of the former Executive Vice Chairman and Chairman of Open Media, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, as well as “The Roles of Nigeria in Peace Keeping in West Africa (2018)”.
Nweke noted that the choice of ALTON Chairman as the reviewer of his latest book, was to bring to bear, the dynamics of digital era as Engr. Adebayo is the author of “Telecom in Nigeria, A Role In The Call,” a book on telecommunications development in Nigeria (2006).
