Ondo Commissioner Lauds Remi Tinubu, Gov Aiyedatiwa, Wife for Empowering WomenThe Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board held the second edition of its Book Reading Series on Wednesday at the Nigerian Content Tower, Swali, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, featuring veteran journalist and former Editor of The PUNCH, Mr. Dayo Oketola.
In his welcome address, Dr. Obinna Ezeobi, General Manager of the Corporate Communications Division at the NCDMB, reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to educational advancement and capacity development across Nigeria’s oil and gas industry and its linked sectors. He cited the establishment of Centres of Excellence in universities and sponsorship of academic competitions as part of NCDMB’s broader educational strategy.
Speaking to journalists after the session, Oketola addressed the book’s critical tone regarding some regulatory agencies, particularly in its examination of the NigComSat-1R, the government-owned communication satellite. He clarified that while his work does critique institutional shortcomings, the reading event was not intended as a platform to cast aspersions on any specific government agency.
In addressing governance, The Catalyst: Nigerian Tech Evolution Through a Journalist’s Lens, explores both the achievements and failures of regulatory frameworks and the broader policy environment. It provides an in-depth analysis of strategic planning, regulatory oversight, and the future of Nigeria’s digital economy, especially in areas such as broadband penetration, infrastructure expansion, and the introduction of 5G technology.
