The
NCCF-ICT, a sectoral working group under the Nigerian Content Development
Monitoring Board (NCDMB) which
represents the interest of ICT practitioners in the oil and gas sector has fixed 18th of May, 2018 for her quarterly group
meeting.
This was
contained in a memo issued and signed by Mr Uchenna Onyekaonwu, Secretary, NCCF – ICT and made available to
NCCF ICT members by Olatunji Abibat (Mrs.).
The
meeting which will feature the Executive Secretary to the Board promises to be
an avenue for questions and answers, networking and interaction. And of course
the latest update on the Board’s activities and the 10 Years Strategic Plan
recently approved for implementation will be discussed.
The
meeting starts by 11:00am at the Southern
Sun Hotels, 47, Alfred Rewane Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Intending participants will be given opportunity to ask relevant
questions from the representatives of the Executive Secretary with regards to
the implementation of the NOGICD Act in relation to ICT goods and services
required in the Oil and Gas sector
It would be recalled that NCDMB created
NCCF-ICT to represent the interest of ICT practitioners in the oil and gas sector.
Due to lack of awareness/information about the provisions of the NOGICD Act.
The Act, in recognizing the importance of IT/ICT to the oil and gas sector
specifically in section 58(f) of the Act, directed the NCDMB to set up the
NCCF- ICT required to consist of stakeholders, government and regulatory
agencies in the ICT. According to Section 12 of the NOGICD Act, Nigerians are
to be given first consideration for the provisions of goods and services in the
sector.
