Lagos-Nigeria, in cease there is anyone in our region who will like to
share some thoughts with us at the forum by exploring any of subtheme. Main
theme for this year is: Net Neutrality and Nigerian Internet Users.
We will be glad to welcome such a person through this programme and assist
where necessary.
