Led by Honourable Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo, Chairman, House Committee on ICT, and Alhaji Yusuf Kazaure, CEO of Galaxy Backbone Limited, the connectivity solutions company that manages all government digital access, the mix of legislators and technical services team was able to have insights into “ground-breaking technologies, game-changing plenary talks, and experience ready-to-market inventions that will disrupt the future of how we work, connect and live.”

The three day event was a gathering of “developers, programmers and enterprise architects, as well as government departments, major international blue-chip companies and thousands of SMEs exploring the next generation of pipeline technologies to boost their fledgling businesses.” The event showcases products like space to security systems and technologies, security services, security alerts and earning systems and all associated with the security industry.
