IHS Nigeria has restated its commitment to the development of a more sustainable, resilient and inclusive telecommunications and technology sector in Nigeria.
The company made this known at a stakeholder breakfast session organised by the Telecommunications and Technology Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG) in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.
The session, held on Thursday, September 17, at the Abuja Continental Hotel, brought together representatives from regulatory agencies, industry players, academia, development organisations, technology startups and other key stakeholders to discuss sustainability priorities within the sector.
The breakfast session also provided an opportunity for the TTSWG to present its 2025–2030 Strategy and propose sustainability metrics for the Nigerian telecommunications industry to the industry regulator, the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC).
Speaking on behalf of IHS Nigeria, the Director of Sustainability, Titilope Oguntuga, welcomed the engagement and described the stakeholder dialogue as important to advancing practical sustainability solutions across the sector.
She said the gathering provided an opportunity for stakeholders to assess the progress made so far and identify areas requiring further action to strengthen collaboration around environmental, social and governance priorities.
Oguntuga said TTSWG’s progress reflects a shared and enduring conviction that technology and innovation remain among the most effective tools available to address challenges within the sector. She added that this conviction continues to guide the work and partnerships shaping the telecommunications and technology space.
She also highlighted the importance of collaboration among industry players, regulators and other stakeholders in addressing issues affecting the sustainability and resilience of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure.
According to her, TTSWG provides a platform for driving policy dialogue, research, capacity building and partnerships around shared sector priorities.
In his opening remarks, the Chairman of the TTSWG Board, Engr. Abdu-Waya Mohammed, said the strategy provides a framework for strengthening collaboration around sustainability across the telecommunications and technology ecosystem.
He noted that the strategy focuses on areas including the transition to renewable energy, digital inclusion, stronger governance frameworks, innovation through collaboration and sustainable development.
Mohammed also emphasised that the strategy remains a draft developed through the TTSWG Secretariat’s stakeholder engagement process and would benefit from further input from industry players and other stakeholders.
