The Technology and Telecommunications Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG) has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to fostering a sustainable future for all through collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility with all stakeholders in the technology and telecommunications sector.

The Lead Consultant at TTSWG, Bekeme Olowola, stated this resolution during the member’s colloquium which was held in Lagos recently.

“At TTSWG, we are well aware of the vast potential in Nigeria’s ICT ecosystem, as well as its challenges. This is why we are committed to promoting a viable tomorrow, starting today, through our advocacy, training, research, innovative solutions, and other targeted initiatives. As part of our thought leadership mandate, we have designed and are set to implement forward-thinking and captivating initiatives in the second half of 2023 that will spur the sector and the nation forward on the path of sustainable, inclusive, and innovation-driven development,” Olowola said.

During the meeting, TTSWG members congregated to address pressing challenges facing the technology and telecommunications industry concerning environmental impact, social responsibility, and long-term economic viability.

The attendees included tech organizations such as ALTON, Phase3Telecom, Quomodo Systems, NASENI, TBO Consulting, ALTON, and 9Mobile.

The pressing challenges facing Nigeria demand a unified effort to create meaningful and lasting change.

TTSWG stands at the forefront of this endeavor, harnessing the power of collaboration among key players in the technology and telecommunications sectors.

By leveraging their combined expertise and resources, TTSWG is determined to address critical national issues with a focus on sustainability and responsible practices.

The group’s collective effort is geared towards striking a balance between technological advancement and environmental preservation, guaranteeing a future where prosperity is not achieved at the expense of the well-being of the nation.
