The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has emerged one of big winners at the 2025 World Summit on Information Society (WSIS).
The Commission won an award for its project, the Digital Awareness Programme (DAP) under Category C3, which is on Access to Information and Knowledge.
The Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of the NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, received the prize in Geneva, Switzerland, on behalf of the commission.
“This recognition is more than a celebration of past efforts—it is an encouragement to press forward” Maida said.
“It affirms that investing in digital inclusion is investing in national development, and that Nigeria’s work is being seen and valued on the global stage.”
The DAP, one of hundreds of projects submitted for the 2025 WSIS Prize Competition, received the highest number of votes in its category, earning it the top honour.
