    This year’s Beacon of Information and Communication Technology (BoICT) awards/lecture series is scheduled for May 28 and will be exploring the Impact of Blockchain Technology in a Digitalized Nigeria.

    Now in its 13th year, the BoICT Distinguished Lecture Series is widely regarded as the most prestigious annual event available in the ICT industry in Nigeria.

    This year the theme is “Impact of Blockchain Technology in a Digitalized Nigeria”. As Nigeria is moving toward a digital economy, Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt digital interaction in our economy and society. The technology’s rapid and dynamic technical development is driven by startups and incumbents alike, creating a myriad of applications across economic and societal domains.

    Mr. Ken Nwogbo, chief executive officer and editor-in-chief, of Communication Week Media Limited, and the organisers of the lecture, said that the choice of the theme is based on the potential of the new technological paradigm that has not yet reached wider public debate for economic and societal growth.

    “Distributed ledger technologies and blockchains stem from an ideological open-source movement and facilitate the exchange of assets via a complementary technical layer on top of the internet”.

    According to Nwogbo, “the lecture is followed by the awards ceremony which rewards best practices and recognize outstanding contributions to the growth of the ICT sector.

    The awards are free and awardees are chosen by readers of Nigeria CommunicationsWeek through a transparent voting process.”

    He noted that the voting platform has already opened and business leaders and readers are implored to cast their votes via this link. https://boictawards.icreationsent.com
