Why ITU appointed Pantami as WSIS Forum Chairman – Nairametrics

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has said it appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, as the Chairman of the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2022 because of his commitment to information and knowledge societies.
Pantami is also said to have played an active role in the WSIS Process process, hence he was appointed after consultations with various stakeholders.
According to a statement issued by the Technical Assistant to the Minister, Femi Adeluyi, the appointment was conveyed to Pantami through a letter from the Secretary-General of the ITU.
Adeluyi in the statement said: “The appointment of Professor Pantami has given Nigeria, and indeed the African continent, the unique role of coordinating the activities of the WSIS in its 20th year, following the WSIS Phase I meeting that took place in 2003.”
“It is apparent that the world has taken notice of the giant strides of Nigeria’s digital economy under the supervision of the Honourable Minister. Prof Pantami extends his immense gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for the constant support he has given the sector,” he added.
