President Muhammadu Buhari has set ambitious targets for a national broadband network to harness the potential of the internet and digital access for jobs, education, healthcare, identity management and to increase productivity in the public sector.

To this end, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), and the Nigeria Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Advisory Council, chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, have jointly launched the National Broadband Penetration Programme, a public-private initiative to ensure the deployment of 18,000km of fibre infrastructure to Nigeria’s existing stock of 38,000km of fibre cabling.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated this at the just-concluded 5th World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China.

He explained that the “goal is to, within four years, provide fibre connectivity to all 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria. Government’s role is to provide the right licensing framework as well as the necessary subsidies to encourage investment.”

He revealed that two additional infrastructure companies have been licensed in 2018, to roll out broadband infrastructure in Nigeria.

“Together with previous licensees, and other private sector players, these companies will help implement the Government’s vision of total national broadband connectivity,” he said.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President told the conference that Nigeria’s Social Investment Programme, including the N-Power Youth Employment Scheme, has provided 500,000 beneficiaries with electronic tablet devices for learning and self-development.

“Another aspect of the N-Power focuses on training young software engineers and coders,” he said.

The presidential aide further told the international gathering that the Buhari administration has begun the development of “Technology & Innovation Hubs” across the country, in partnership with the private sector, adding that a total of eight these hubs are planned across the country, with four already functional.

He also spoke about partnerships between the Nigerian Government and Facebook, Google, and Huawei to roll out high-quality Internet across the country, adding that the recently established Technology Advisory Body chaired by the Vice President will provide support to tech companies and initiatives.

He specifically thanked Chinese Companies like Huawei for being supportive of the Nigerian Government’s efforts at digital inclusion and expanding access.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President lauded Huawei for sponsoring Nigerian students for ICT training in China, recalling that in 2016 the company opened a Technology Hub, the Huawei Innovation and Experience Centre, in Lagos with a pledge to train 12,000 Nigerians, including 2,000 civil servants.

  104. “For the first few months of its existence, it was obtainable only by miners validating the Bitcoin blockchain,” says Chetan Chawla, assistant professor of entrepreneurship at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, who researches cryptocurrencies and blockchain. El Salvador’s El Zonte is now popularly known as “Bitcoin Beach,” for being the first town to use the cryptocurrency as a form of payment for services, products and salaries. So much so, that a singular Bitcoin went from being worth ВЈ3,600 in March last year to more than ВЈ27,000 now. But the filing and the crypto market’s topsy-turvy week did little to allay concerns over how crypto assets would be treated in the event of an exchange’s bankruptcy. The bold experiment got off to a bumpy start when shortly after midnight, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele complained the government-backed bitcoin app was not available on various internet platforms including Apple and Huawei. http://cesarpkao643108.bloggosite.com/15788803/where-can-i-buy-xrp-cryptocurrency After 10 years of its creation, Bitcoin is also characterized by its high volatility. Throughout its short, but intense existence, a single bitcoin has gone from literally nothing to almost $ 66000. Exchanges or cryptocurrency markets can show us a very detailed history of how the BTC USD pair has evolved throughout this time. All this information can help us choose the best time to invest in bitcoin. However, not everyone is pessimistic. Goldman Sachs said that the price of bitcoin could reach more than $100,000 within the next five years. In a report published earlier this month, the bank’s analysts said they saw strong gains ahead because bitcoin would increasingly steal market share from gold. Like all investment decisions, how much you pour into crypto will depend on your risk tolerance. But investment professionals suggest that investors keep their exposure low — even for those who are all-in on the technology. Anjali Jariwala, a certified financial planner and founder of Fit Advisors, recommends that clients allocate no more than 3% of their portfolio into crypto.
