Pantami, a lecturer and a professor of Computer & Information Systems before his appointment as the DG of NITDA will be making a presentation on ‘Convergence, IT Regulation and the Promotion of Local Content,’ in the opening Session on Regulation and Convergence.
With technologies increasingly moving towards uniformity and becoming disruptive, regulation in the era of convergence poses a unique challenge for both regulators and technology innovators. Pantami already positioning NITDA to focus more on regulation and local content will be providing insight on the agency’s regulatory posture to technology dynamics and local content.
