All is now set for the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) International Conference tagged ‘SmartEco 2024’, Techeconomy can report.

Speaking during a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, Dr. Muhammad Sirajo Aliyu, the president of NCS, said the international conference holding from Monday 12th to Thursday 15th of August 2024, will have as the theme: ‘Technological Solutions for Smart Economy (SmartEco 2024)’.

In the last forty-seven years of NCS existence, the Conference venue has been rotated amongst the six geopolitical zones in the Country.

For instance, the 2023 conference was held at Bauchi, Bauchi State of Nigeria.

However, this year’s international conference will hold at Dr. Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt, River State, Nigeria.

According to Dr. Aliyu, “Interestingly, the conference will be in hybrid form (Physical & Virtual attendance). The challenge posed by COVID-19 still reaffirms the need for Information Technology Professionals to change their strategies.

“The theme of the conference (Technological Solutions for Smart Economy (SmartEco 2024) was carefully and scientifically chosen in order to provide the needed technological support for Government drives and vision in this modern society”.

Why SmartEco 2024?

Highlighting further on the choice of the conference theme, the NCS president said:

“The emergency of connected cities and data-driven nations is making planning and decision-making easier at the global level. Different studies have ranked Africa low in adopting technology to build a safe, secure and sustainable economy. At the heart of the technology driving innovation is data and citizen engagement. In transforming our nation to meet future demand, we must use technology to create a more sustainable and liveable present and secure future for our citizens. We must change our approach and challenge the status quo.

“Our quest for innovation leveraging research and development must increase. We must develop effective strategies to achieve a Smart Economy Sustainable for the Nation. The government, the citizens and the business environment must invest in the relevant technologies to compete in the global space. This approach requires the right team with new mindsets and skill. The 2024 international conference on ‘Technological Solutions for Smart Economy (SmartEco 2024)’ will bring together policymakers within the government, business leaders, members of academia, professionals and practitioners to deliberate on broad social, economic, and technology trends relevant to the development and sustainability of our nation”.
