This year’s lecture is themed “Digital Transformation and Cloud Services as New Order” even as Cloud services now play a critical role in accelerating digital transformation and delivering essential public services.

“Among them are linking of NIN with SIM which has reduced the use of mobile phones for nefarious activities, digital transformation in the public sector as well as laying the foundation for a digital economy.”
