In a landmark move aimed at solidifying Nigeria’s presence in the global technology ecosystem, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has today inaugurated the Local Organising Committee (LOC) to drive preparations for the highly anticipated first-ever #GITEXNigeria2025.

Representing the Director General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa, at the inauguration event, Mr. Olawunmi Oladejo, Director of the Department of IT Infrastructure Solutions, underscored the Agency’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the success of the event. He highlighted NITDA’s dedication to delivering a seamless and impactful programme that will serve as a catalyst for technological innovation and collaboration.

“The inauguration of this committee is a strategic step towards hosting a world-class event that will not only showcase Nigeria’s technological advancements but also create a platform for stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions and partnerships,” said Oladejo. “GITEX Nigeria 2025 will be a game-changer for our digital economy, reinforcing Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s tech space.”

As one of the world’s largest technology exhibitions, GITEX has long been a melting pot for innovators, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and industry leaders. The decision to bring GITEX to Nigeria for the first time marks a significant milestone in the country’s ambition to become a major player in the global digital economy.

The LOC, composed of industry experts, government officials, and private sector stakeholders, has been tasked with curating an event that will attract top-tier investors, tech giants, and emerging startups. Their role includes overseeing logistics, sponsorships, keynote speakers, and exhibitions that will define the inaugural edition of GITEX Nigeria.

With this development, Nigeria is set to host an event that will not only showcase homegrown talent and solutions but also position the country as a preferred destination for tech investment and digital transformation.

The tech industry and global stakeholders are keenly watching as the countdown to #GITEXNigeria2025 begins, with expectations high for an event that will leave a lasting imprint on the nation’s digital economy.
