NIGERIA WINS COUNTRY HOSTING RIGHT (CHR) FOR WORLD ELECTRONICS FORUM 2014

The
Board of Directors of the World Electronics Forum (WEF), through Consumer
Electronics and Technologies Industry Association (CETIA) of Africa, has
granted the Country Hosting Right (CHR) for the 19th World Electronics Forum
2014 to Nigeria. 

WEF
has also nominated Digital Africa Global Consult Limited, headed by Dr. Evans
E. Woherem, as the event organizer. The 19th World Electronics Forum is
therefore to be held alongside Digital Africa 2014 in Lagos, from May 20-22,
2014.

President
of WEF, Mr. Tony Smith, said that, “We look forward to bringing the decision
makers of the world ICT and consumer electronics industry to Nigeria next year,
and we believe that this is a tremendous opportunity for Nigeria and the rest
of Africa”. 

According
to Mr. Smith, “Nigeria has demonstrated its vast investment potentials by
becoming the largest telecom market in Africa and the Middle East. The major
goal of the 19th World Electronics Forum is therefore to engage the African telecommunications
and IT markets, using Nigeria as the window”.

Chairman
of Digital Africa Global Consult Limited, Dr. Evans Woherem, said that, “We are
very delighted to use our Digital Africa platform to bring the world’s leading
technology stars not only to meet hundreds of credible business leaders and
entrepreneurs drawn from Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa
and the rest of the continent”. He reiterated that, “When it comes to the
digital industry today, Africa is the last frontier and the toast of the rest
of the world”.   

WEF
is the forum of CEOs and Directors of the global electronics industry
associations of the leading economies of the world: USA, China, Japan, Germany,
Britain, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Russia,
Brazil, Philippines, Vietnam, etc. The 18th edition was hosted by Vietnam in
2013, the 17th edition was held in Philippines in 2012, and the 16th edition
has hosted by USA in 2011. 

Traditionally,
the President or Prime Minister of the Host Country is the Special Guest of
Honour at the Opening Ceremony Dinner of the four-day event, while the Governor
or Premier of the Host State or Province is the Chief Host.

The
Host Country and the Host City therefore have the privilege to showcase their
investment potentials and opportunities to the highest-level leadership of the
global electronics industry, comprising the world leading manufacturers of
computers, tablets, telecom equipment, mobile phone handsets and accessories,
consumer electronics, automotive electronics, aviation electronics, etc.

Digital
Africa Global Consult is the promoter of the annual Digital Africa Conference
& Exhibition, aimed at helping Africa to transit from being merely a
consumer to become a major producer of ICT products, services and innovations. 

The
Minister of Communication Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson, led a high-powered
delegation of ICT regulatory agencies to represent the federal Government of
Nigeria at the inaugural Digital Africa held April 23-25, 2013 in Abuja. 

The
event was chaired by Mr. Oba Otudeko, the Chairman of Honeywell Group, First
Bank Holdings Plc and Airtel Nigeria Limited, and a champion of inter-African
trade. The conference attracted a list of distinguished speakers from Nigeria, USA,
Germany, UK, Cameroon and Kenya.
