Technology firm, SystemSpecs, has stressed the importance of collaboration in the sustenance of the information, communication and technology (ICT) sector.
Executive Director, SystemSpecs, Deremi Atanda, who said this, disclosed that Nigeria needs to harness emerging opportunities through productive collaborations at various levels.
Atanda spoke as a panelist during a recent webinar organised by the Telecommunications and Technology Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG), themed ‘Collaborations for a Resilient ICT Sector.
He suggested some steps, including the embedding of sustainability in the training curriculum at various levels, a handbook that captures the history of ICT in Nigeria and documentation of top 100 ICT projects created by Nigerians in Nigeria or diaspora..
He also noted that the firm supported government at both federal and statelevels with computers and broadband connectivity in order to keep functioning optimally while employees worked remotely.
According to him, in telecommunications and technology, as in any other sector, partnerships between the government, the commercial sector, and civil society, are required for sustainable development.
During the webinar, there were discussions with leading sector experts, focusing on the need for partnerships between key stakeholder groups to address the stumbling blocks to sustainable development within the booming ICT sector.
