It’s also a continuous protection of the existing investment with the sole aim of attracting further investment into the sector, as the proposed book is expect to chronicle all that these individuals and corporate organizations have done to grow the industry to where it is today, and what they still plan to do in order to speed up the needed future development.”

 
The Association said it has taken cognizance of some of the players in the industry that have led innovation and creativity in the sector and their respective creativities have continued to attract both local and international attention in terms of investible funds.
  
The proposed book is expected to have the following structure; the curriculum vitae (in an easy format) of the personalities; a brief historical background of how the company has led creativity in terms of the company’s services and products; and the future plans of the company with respect to innovation and creativity. It will also include the list of corporate social responsibility that the company has done in the past; the brief corporate profile and advert of the company and passport photograph of the personality in that organization.

The personalities will also have the opportunity to discuss briefly barriers that have constituted threats to creativity and innovation in the Nigeria telecom and ICT industry and proffer way forward
