The Chief Executive Officer of MainOne,
Funke Opeke, has reiterated the company’s intention to enable broadband
internet access for all Nigerians, as well as provide full development
training of technology startups that would in turn develop software
applications that will enhance internet access and connectivity.
Speaking on the plans to connect
Nigerians to virtually all electronic devices through the Internet of
Things (IoT), Opeke said: “Today we are already playing in the field of
eCommerce, wearable technology and all these are integrated into our
enterprise network. With more Nigerians connected to the internet, they
will have more access across the universe.”
More technologies are also being
deployed for the control of vehicular movement and tracking and this
will reduce traffic congestion on our roads, and we will continue to
support young technology start-ups, who will become future software
developers for Nigeria, Opeke said in Lagos, during the recent hosting
of IT professionals, IT enthusiasts and other technology players at the
second edition of its annual Nerds Unite Technology Conference.
Speaking on Cloud Computing as the
modern technology that will enhance global connectivity and data
security, Opeke said: “More than 50 per cent of organisations are
already in the cloud, connected to cloud services, and it will bring
about better connectivity and outreach to more people and customers. It
will help organisations to gain wider resources in business. As
connectivity continues to grow, with increase in economic of scales, it
will enhance businesses in Nigeria and the globe.”
