Yar’Adua
What ICT contributions did Yar’Adua make for Nigeria?
With the passing of Nigerian President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, its time to reflect on his legacy with the most populous country in Africa. Online Africa has started the conversation with their post Nigerian President Yar’Adua’s direct contributions to ICT.
They list several achievements, but the only notable one, I feel, is the launched the first ever Pan-African Communication Satellite NigComsat-1. The rest are policy promises. Yet, I feel that both Online Africa and I are missing the more subtle impacts of his leadership.
What are the ICT industry contributions made by Yar’Adua for Nigeria?
