In addition, the cost of ICT access (mobile phones and internet) is much higher as a proportion of per capita income, but the reverse is the case here, NCC with the help of the Digital Bridge Institute and the government has long ago curbed all these challenges.
“And for other challenges still being experienced, we urge all relevant stakeholders, including the government, civil society and the private sector to come together and work to provide an environment that fosters the development of the Nigerian people and enables them to realize their potential in the Information Society.
“ICT transcends borders in enabling the communication between the Nigerian people from every corner of the world, helping in the promotion of dialogue and mutual understanding. It is important then that international cooperation in regards to the transfer of technology is fostered.
