Ukodie said that the conference would be instructive to give a fresh direction and guide to stakeholders on the new thinking for the broadband evolution in Nigeria.
According to him, "we have also slated other sub-themes for discussion. One of the sub-themes is: Broadband, for a connected Nigeria and prosperity. The conference is intended to sustain the current growth and momentum of discourses and actions that would culminate in the cost-effective deployment of broadband. This fittingly complements the efforts of the Federal Government as exemplified by the inauguration of the National Broadband Initiative."
