Only technology innovation can drive the advancement of Nigeria’s economy with products and services that support growth and development, the Managing Director (MD) of Inq. Nigeria, Mr Ifeanyi Akosionu, has said.
Akosionu disclosed this after his company received three awards at the 15th edition of the Africa Beacon of ICT Merit & Leadership (ABoICT) Award ceremony held in Lagos over the weekend.
The company was voted “ICT Company of the Year”, “Enterprise Broadband Services Provider of the Year” and “Emerging Technology Provider of the Year”.
“Nigeria and Nigerians should innovate beyond the conventional because it is only technology innovation that can drive the advancement of Nigeria’s economy with products and services that support growth and development,” he said.
He noted that the tech company was moving the conventional to innovating which had earned it the awards consistently for about a decade.
Receiving the awards on behalf of Inq. Nigeria, Akosionu said, “It is an honour to receive these recognitions from ABoICT. These awards are a testament to the hard work, dedication and commitment of the entire team at Inq. Nigeria.”
