The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) has confirmed the appointment of a Director-General to an advisory body set up by the International Telecommunications Union. This body aims to enhance global digital infrastructure resilience through international collaboration.
The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies confirmed the news in a statement, congratulating the DG on her appointment.
“The advisory body will serve as a platform for international multi-stakeholder collaboration, bringing together governments, regulatory authorities, industry leaders and key stakeholders in areas related to enhancing the safety, redundancy and protection of submarine cables,” says the DCDT statement.
Over 200 cable repairs were reported worldwide in 2023 by the ICPC − equivalent to more than three cable failures per week, on average. The advisory board is co-chaired by Nigeria's minister of communications, innovation and digital economy, Bosun Tijani, and professor Sandra Maximiano, chairperson of the board of directors of the National Communications Authority of the Republic of Portugal.
