ADIPENG 2009 (April 20-24, 2009)
ADIPENG is an ellipsis for Advancing the Dynamics of ICT Policy Engineering for e-Government. While it is noted that a handful of state governments, business entities and the Federal Government have IT Policies, there is no doubt that these policies need to be taken to the next level for better government service delivery on the e-platform for the people and for effective governance across the government and organisations. It is an opportunity for states, local government and entities without an ICT policy to adapt better practices for a leapfrog experience.
ADIPENG was a global conference/workshop for ICT Policy decision makers across all levels of governance in Nigeria. Federal, States, Local governments and corporate concern ICT decision makers were present too. WITSA Chairman Dato Dan E. Khoo, World Bank Chief Economist to Nigeria Mr Ismail Radwan, Zenith Bank CEO, Mr Jim Ovia, President, Nigerian Academy of Sciences Prof. Oye Ibidapo-Obe, NITDA DG, Prof Cleopas Angaye, NCS President Prof Charles Uwadia, CPN President Prof. (Mrs) Adenike Osofisan were also among eminent IT experts that made keynote presentation on April 21 at the opening ceremony.
