My AICTTRA Experience
I was invited to speak at the 2022 AICTTRA by the organizers, the Africa Centre of Excellence at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria , led by Professor Sola Aderounmu, the Center leader of the Center of Excellence. I was a lead speaker at the 15th AICTTRA conference and had the privilege of engaging with some of the brightest minds in Nigeria’s ICT field.
As someone in Innovation policy advisory, the experience was truly enlightening. I learned a great deal from the insightful discussions and presentations. Not really surprised as Professor Aderounmu is a past President of the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), who had one of the most impactful tenure as an NCS President. I therefore share these thoughts with excitement and encourage others to attend this valuable event.
