    Hakeem Fahm, Honourable Commissioner of Science and Technology at Lagos State Government, will deliver the keynote address at the Nigerian Software Testing Qualification Board (NGSTQB) first Software Testing Conference in Nigeria codenamed ‘TestNigeria Conference 1.0’.

    Mr. Fahm is an experienced network infrastructure director with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry.

    Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, appointed Mr. Fahm as a Commissioner following his strong information technology professional experience; to lead State’s digital transformation agenda.

    He will deliver the keynote address at the TestNigeria Conference 1.0 to be held on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, at Lagos Oriental Hotel, Lekki Road, Lagos under the theme: ‘Impact of Software Quality Assurance in the Nigerian Digital Economy.

    Designed as a platform for software professionals to discuss how the Nigerian IT ecosystem can start developing quality software that meets international standards and help achieve Nigeria’s Digital Economy Strategy, the conference is targeted at software developers, banks, government institutions, telcos, fintech companies, industry regulators and major users of sensitive software among others.

    Also expected guests and speakers include, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Executive Governor, Lagos State Government; Prof. Isa Pantami, Hon Minister for Communications and Digital Economy; Dr. Vincent Olatunji, National Commissioner / CEO, Nigeria Data Protection Bureau (NDPB); Dr. Dan- Azumi Ibrahim, Director General, National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP); Mrs. Rakiya Mohammed, Director of IT, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN); Ms. Ola Williams, Country Manager Nigeria & Ghana, Microsoft Nigeria and other speakers are drawn from leading software companies such as Inlaks and the Global Accelerex.

    Mr. Olivie​​r Denoo, President of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) is among the software industry experts scheduled to speak at the all-important two-day event with Mr. Bob Van de Burgt, the Test Maturity Model integration Foundation (TMMi) Local Chapter Manager; Dr. Babatunde Oghenobruche Obrimah, Chief Operating Officer, FINTECH Association of Nigeria and Dr. Chika O. Yinka-Banjo, Department of Computer Sciences, University of Lagos, all confirmed to speak.

    NGSTQB is a member of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB); the world’s leading organization for Certification of Professionals in Software Testing.

    NGSTQB was officially registered as a Board with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria on August 21, 2021, after formal approval from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

    Mr. Boye Dare, the President of NGSTQB, said that TestNigeria Conference 1.0 will feature networking cocktail, keynote presentations, panel sessions and fireside chat including special sessions on Software Test Improvement in Organisations; Growing Software Testing Ecosystem in Nigeria’s Educational Sector, and Need for Certified Test Professionals in Organisations.

    While reemphasizing the need for software testing, Mr. Dare said is it vital for Nigeria to be identified as a country with high-quality software.

    In his words, “Testing is necessary because we all make mistakes. Some of those mistakes are unimportant, but some are expensive and dangerous.

    “Software failures can be devastating to company value and reputation. For example, UK-based loan company Provident Financial lost 1.7 billion pounds (about 2.4 billion American dollars) of market value in 2017 after a bug in their newly developed scheduling software, such that barely half of their loan debts were collected when due. This bug cost the company 120 million pounds (170 million American dollars) in profit loss, and the fiasco is considered a record-breaking loss.

    “In a recent report by Synopsys, Inc., in conjunction with Consortium for Information & Software Quality (CISQ), the cost of poor software quality in the US in 2020 was approximately $2.08 trillion.

    “According to Nigeria’s Digital Economy strategy, Nigerians are highly innovative people, and a thriving digital economy will create employment opportunities for Nigeria’s teeming population and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty”.

    The NGSTQB President, therefore, said that achieving Nigeria’s Digital Economy strategy is the collective responsibility of all individuals and businesses.
