President Adesola Akinsanya passionately emphasized the transformative impact that .ng domains wield, underscoring their indispensable role in establishing a resilient and distinguished online presence for Nigerian organizations.
Mrs. Chioma Keke, the Head of Business Development NiRA, highlighted the critical need for leveraging the .ng domain to fortify security measures, shielding businesses from potential vulnerabilities associated with generic top-level domains.
By embracing the .ng domain, organizations can effortlessly establish their credibility, foster trust among their users, and safeguard their online reputation.
During the highly productive meeting, NiRA presented compelling options to the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry(LCCI), including the acquisition of a bespoke second-level domain, such as .LCCI.ng, exclusively dedicated to the Lagos Chamber of Commerce.
This personalized domain will enable LCCI to establish a unique online identity and further enhance its members’ online presence and visibility. Additionally, the discussion explored implementing domain redirects with the .ng extension or the second-level domain extension .com.ng, allowing seamless integration with existing domains while reaping the benefits of the distinctive .ng identity.
This approach aligns with the global trend observed among major corporations that embrace country-specific domains within the countries they operate.
Dr. (Mrs.) Chinyere Almona, the esteemed Director-General of LCCI, warmly commended NiRA’s proactive efforts and expressed eagerness to collaborate in sensitizing LCCI’s vast network of business owners about the remarkable advantages offered by the .ng domain. This comprehensive awareness campaign will empower LCCI members to unlock new growth opportunities, fortify their online presence, and enhance their competitive edge in the digital realm.
