Recognising the immense potential at the nexus of technology and climate resilience, TTSWG demonstrates how to steer Nigeria into a more sustainable and prosperous era via its recent publication.

As sub-Saharan Africa grapples with pressing environmental challenges and seeks avenues to bolster its economic resilience, the TTSWG’s publication, themed “Climate Resilience as a Business Opportunity for Nigeria’s ICT Sector” provides a pathway for a resilient future for Nigeria.

By harnessing the power of technology in driving climate adaptation, TTSWG envisions a future where these intersecting forces not only mitigate the nation’s current environmental issues but also foster economic growth.

 “Studies tell us that the global climate adaptation market could be worth $2 trillion by 2026. TTSWG believes Nigeria can not only hold a sizeable slice of this market but also leverage tech-driven climate resilience solutions to address the nation’s environmental and economic challenges. We have therefore channelled our research and thought leadership efforts to offer the ICT sector the insights it needs to lead this transformation,” stated Isaac Emmanuel, Sustainability Consultant at TTSWG Secretariat.

TTSWG’s multi-faceted approach involves fostering collaboration among stakeholders, from government bodies and private industries to academia and local communities. By leveraging shared expertise and resources, TTSWG aims to create a comprehensive strategy that not only mitigates the challenges posed by climate change but also paves the way for a greener and more robust economy.

The Telecommunications and Technology Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG) is a dynamic coalition dedicated to promoting sustainability in Nigeria’s ICT sector. Comprising a diverse array of organisations such as Quomodo Systems Africa, MTN, HP, and IHS Towers, amongst others, TTSWG strives to pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future.

This resolute dedication was underscored during the member’s colloquium held with its members on Thursday, 27th July 2023, in Lagos.

During the meeting, TTSWG members congregated to address pressing challenges facing the technology and telecommunications industry concerning environmental impact, social responsibility, and long-term economic viability.

The attendees comprised esteemed organisations such as ALTON, Phase3Telecom, Quomodo Systems, NASENI, TBO Consulting, ALTON, and 9Mobile.

With a membership that boasts prominent industry leaders including 9Mobile, Airtel, HP, MTN, SystemSpecs, Quomodo Systems Ltd, IHS Towers, and so on, TTSWG continues to prioritise fostering collaborations and partnerships to ensure sustainability within the technology ecosystem in Nigeria.

The meeting, which is the first physical board meeting of the TTSWG as it works assiduously to be the go-to hub for tech sustainability leadership, was presided over by the Chairman of the Board, Engr. Mohammed Abdu-Waya, Chief Technical Officer at Intercellular Nigeria Plc.

It had in attendance other members of the board, including Vice-Chair of the Board, Dr. Wunmi Hassan (President, High-Tech Centre for Nigerian Women and Youth), Dr. Chris Uwaje, Mrs. Iklimatu Ramallan, Prof. Francis Idachaba, as well as key operatives of the TTSWG Secretariat – ‘Bekeme Olowola (Lead Consultant TTSWG), Chioma Ahumareze, Isaac Emmanuel, and Pamela Babafemi who manage the TTSWG Secretariat at CSR-in-Action.

A representative of TTSWG member organisations and Member of the Planning Committee for the Innovator Makers’ Challenge (TTSWG’s landmark event to promote sustainable tech innovations among indigenous youth), Suleman Ibrahim – Manager of Sustainability and ESG at IHS Nigeria – was also present at the board meeting as an observer.

The board meeting aimed to review the activities of the Secretariat during the last quarter and strategies for the next steps to ensure that the working group is on course to achieve its goals and purposes.

Some of the activities that took place in the past couple of months which were highlighted during the meeting were TTSWG’s highly successful ‘Sip & Tech’ stakeholders’ networking event, its feature series on The Good Citizen Radio Show hosted by CSR-in-Action, the release of crucial industry research publications – including, The Growing Tech Economy in Nigeria; and Increased Taxation on ICT in Nigeria:

A Barrier to the Sector’s Sustained Growth?; all available at ttswg.org-, as well as the hosting of a webinar on The Role of ICT in Deepening Democracy and Sustainable Governance in Nigeria. The group also experienced substantial growth in membership during the period under review, now boasting 21 members, including new member organisations such as Quomodo Systems Africa, TBO Consulting Group, and Arnergy Solar Ltd.

Speaking on the work done in the past year, Mrs. Olowola said,

“I’m very glad that the TTSWG has been well received, even by international business players in Nigeria. Collaborations are essential to fuel growth and progress in every field, and our Secretariat has demonstrated exceptional commitment to surpassing our targets during this period. We have prioritised the creation of strategic partnerships, specifically for the upcoming IMC event. We have taken significant steps, and we are confident that these partnerships with business, government, academia, and other mediating organisations, will play a critical role in our ongoing success and the realisation of our objectives.”

The board commended the TTSWG Secretariat for their outstanding work across various metrics during the period. They also re-emphasised their commitment and willingness to leverage their influence to drive support for TTSWG, its project, and initiatives.

The webinar, which was another effort by TTSWG to incorporate sustainable practices in the sector and influence sustainability in the areas of environment, society, and governance had in attendance reputed thought leaders including Dr. Wunmi Hassan, President/CEO of High-Tech Centre for Nigerian Women and Youth;  Deji Haastrup, Director of Good Governance Africa (GGA), SADC Board, South Africa; and Oluwole Asalu, Founder & CEO of Quomodo Systems Africa.

Dr. Chris Uwaje, a Co-Founder and Past President of the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria, and Board Member of TTSWG, while giving the welcome address, pointed out that “Nigeria is currently in a state of data chaos,” and called for the proper management and use of data with the help of technology to provide solutions to several issues faced in governance. “Why are the people in governance using less technology than the people being governed?” he questioned.

Highlighting the significance of technology in deepening democracy, Dr. Wunmi Hassan pointed out that “The effective management of crises depends on the harmonisation of technological solutions with supportive policies. To move forward and develop as a society, it is crucial to prioritise ICT and ensure that our policies are effective.” In agreement with Hassan, Deji Haastrup stressed the need for a fallback system in case of any potential failures. He stated that “As much as we put faith in the benefits of ICT, we must all understand that ICT, like any other tool, can fail.”

The panellists delved deeper into the significance of integrating ICT into different areas of governance.

Oluwole advised that “the use of technology in promoting democracy should encompass all spheres of governance, rather than being limited to elections alone.”

To support this viewpoint, Deji Haastrup emphasised that “while elections are a vital component of democracy, efforts to improve democracy should not be limited to the conduct of elections.”

In conclusion, the panellists agreed that the integration of ICT into various aspects of governance is crucial for sustainable development in Nigeria. The event was a call to action for stakeholders to work together toward achieving digital transformation in the country.

TTSWG, a collaborative initiative among leading telecommunications and technology stakeholders, has been established to drive coordinated efforts toward sustainable practices in the sector.

Through strategic partnerships, policy advocacy, and events, the group aims to tackle various national issues and leverage the resources available to stakeholders to benefit the industry and the country at large.

With a focus on mobilising human and material capital, TTSWG seeks to encourage joint action and innovative solutions that can drive progress in the sector and contribute to a sustainable future.
