Nigeria’s ICT sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the Nigerian economy and the second-largest ICT market in Africa. In December 2021, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) conducted a spectrum auction to support the delivery of broadband services for the deployment
of 5G networks.

The Government aims to leverage the newly auctioned spectrum to develop a platform for new and emerging technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data. The rapid growth of the Nigerian 5G sector presents a compelling need for infrastructure development, as well as an opportunity for U.S. firms to provide their expertise and solutions.

This session is by invitation only and will bring together Nigerian public and private sector representatives to discuss procurement topics including best value, life cycle cost analysis and bid specification. It is with great pleasure that USTDA and BCIU wish to invite your entity to participate in the session. For additional information and to express interest in attending, please email Mr. Gaetan-Nicolas Bernimolin at gbernimolin@bciu.org.
