What we do

Value redefinition towards 2030

Research & AdvocacyCapacity DevelopmentPolicy Formulation SupportResource Mobilisation

We support the commission of research studies about the industry and science of telecommunications and technology and how they affect the industry with respect to the environment and social impact. These form a basis for our advocacy efforts.

The group organises pieces of training to up skill member organisations on emerging trends and best practices with sustainability and climate needs. Additionally, the group shares relevant proprietary tools, which members can utilise in their respective organsations.

Through a public-private dialogue series, the TTSWG engages relevant regulators, stakeholder groups and member clusters to ensure that useful input is made towards the formulation of policies that affect the telecommunications and technology sectors in Nigeria.

We believe that as an industry, our various interventions can be better coordinated and mobilised to improve the socio-cultural conditions of many host communities. If feasible, member will unite behind TTSWG to collaborate on sustainable interventions that address specific challenges in Nigeria such as Health and Education.
