The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), alongside major telecom operators such as IHS Towers, Digital Realty, and 9mobile Nigeria, has thrown its weight behind the inaugural CNII & Telecom Sustainability Conference 2025.

The event, a collaborative effort between the Nigeria Information Technology Reporters Association (NITRA) and the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), aims to shape the future of telecom and critical national infrastructure through meaningful dialogue and strategic partnerships.

Scheduled for August 7, 2025 in Lagos, the event, which is expected to host Dr. Bosun Tijani, the minister of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy, will also bring stakeholders from Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Peace Corps Nigeria, to discuss the security of infrastructure, stakeholders’ roles, and the practical implementation of the Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) Presidential Order.

Headlining the event, with its theme as “Telecoms Industry Sustainability and the CNII Act – Way Forward”, IHS Towers will throw light on the state of infrastructure in the country, while the Panel Session will discuss the “Role expectations of stakeholders in the implementation of the CNII Act”

Keynote speeches will come from the NCC EVC, Dr. Aminu Maida and the President of the Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON).

The Nigerian Designation and Protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) Order, 2024, aims to safeguard critical infrastructure like telecommunications networks, financial systems, and power grids by designating them as CNII and outlining measures for their protection.

This order, signed in June 2024, is an extension of the Cybercrimes Act of 2015 and seeks to reduce disruptions to these vital systems.

Some of the questions stakeholders will give answers to at the Panel Discussion include:

  • How do we ensure that this Order is implemented to the letter?
  • What are the roles of each stakeholder in the industry – Federal, States, Operators, Consumers, and other actors? 
  • Are telecom companies keying into the CNII provisions, and how?
  • Are there areas worth looking into once more, or is the Order perfect as it is?
  • What is the role of regulators in ensuring public compliance to the Bill?
  • How do we ensure security?
  • What is the place of collaboration?
  • Publicity: how much of the CNII provisions are the public aware of?
  • How can we sustain the growth and development of telecommunications in Nigeria?

According to Mr. Chidiebere Nwankwo, the general secretary of NITRA, this industry collaborative event will afford stakeholders in the public and private sectors the opportunity to sit back together and review how well the CNII Order has thus far been implemented, and to re-strategise, if need be, on the way forward.

“This event is key because it will bring Stakeholders to the CNII plan to a roundtable to re-evaluate the decision, make amends and continue the journey. This has to be a periodic gathering to make the goals of this order achievable,” he said.

ALTON is the official private sector industry body for all providers of telecommunications and subsidiary services in Nigeria.

The Chairman of ALTON, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo and the Chairman of NITRA, Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi will be on hand to welcome industry stakeholders.
