The world cannot afford to stand by and watch Southeastern states in Nigeria compete against each other. It is crucial for the Southeast to unify through technology in order to establish a powerful collective voice within the nation. Commendably, the Southeast governors have demonstrated a serious commitment to Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
The purpose of this summit is to foster mutual learning among states, consolidate existing efforts, and leverage collective strengths to transform the Southeast into a hub of technological innovation. Beyond governmental initiatives, the summit aims to facilitate effective engagement with the private sector, thereby enhancing collaboration and driving sustainable growth.
By uniting through technology and harnessing the potential of ICT, the Southeast region can transcend internal competition and emerge as a formidable force in Nigeria’s tech landscape. This collaborative approach promises to unlock new opportunities, propel economic development, and position the region as a significant player in the national and global technology ecosystem.
