The Acting President of Internet Society Nigeria Chapter, Kunle Olorundare, has stressed the need for students of the Nigerian School on Internet Governance (NSIG) class of 2023 to uphold the ethics of the school and be good ambassadors for positive change in the global internet governance landscape. 

Olorundare who is also the coordinator of the Nigerian School on Internet Governance, stated this during the celebration of the fourth edition of the NSIG. 

According to him, the Nigerian School on Internet Governance will continue to play a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of Internet Governance experts, who will contribute to shaping the narrative of the Internet’s future, particularly in the emerging metaverse. He believes Africa is going to benefit mostly from the future Internet – Metaverse, if we take position now by contributing at the formative stage. 

“As we progress on this remarkable journey, let us remember that our collective mission is to prepare each of you to become a good ambassador for positive change in the global Internet governance landscape. The challenges ahead are significant, but with your unwavering commitment and the support structure we provide, I have every confidence that the NSIG Class of 2023 will rise to the occasion and make substantial contributions to shaping the future of the Internet,” Olorundare said. 

He explained that Nigeria would in the near future, produce great leaders who would not only contribute to the expansive world of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), but would also actively contribute to the Internet Governance ecosystem.

This development, he noted would come from the newly introduced ISOC Learn, an invaluable resource that will further enhance the knowledge and skills of NSIG Class of 2023 in the realm of Internet Governance.
