**"Nigeria's Digital Future Takes Center Stage at 2026 DigitalSENSE Forum"** As the world hurtles towards a more connected digital future, Nigeria must join the ranks of countries harnessing the power of the internet to drive growth and development. To address this pressing need, ITREALMS Media Group is set to host the 2026 Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum (NDSF) on June 11th at the Welcome Centre Hotels in Ikeja, Lagos. The forum's theme, "Sustaining WSIS Vision with Multistakeholder Synergy in Nigeria," is a call to action for policymakers, tech innovators, and civil society to come together and tackle the challenges of internet governance. This year's event is especially significant, given the recent UN General Assembly Resolution reaffirming the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) vision. At the heart of the forum is the need to ensure that all Nigerians have access to digital technologies, affordable internet, and robust digital public infrastructure. The event will bring together key stakeholders, including the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), to explore ways to bridge the digital divide and promote a safer internet for children. According to Remmy Nweke, Group Executive Editor and Lead Consulting Strategist at ITREALMS Media, "The stability of Nigeria's digital economy depends on collaborative security. We must work together to create an inclusive, open, and secure digital space that protects our citizens and remains resilient against global threats." Some of the key highlights of the 2026 NDSF include: * **Emerging Tech**: In-depth discussions on IPv6 adoption, DNS security, and the evolution of Digital Public Infrastructure. * **Child Online Protection**: Strategies for creating a safer internet for the younger generation. * **Strategic Collaboration**: Continuing a long-standing partnership with key stakeholders in the ICT sector. * **Smart Infrastructure**: Exploring how telecommunications and satellite technology can drive the "Smart Nigeria" agenda. The forum will feature a keynote address titled "Sustaining the WSIS Vision via Telecoms: Driving Multistakeholder Synergy for Nigeria's Future," expected to be delivered by leadership from the nation's top regulatory bodies. With the NDSF, DigitalSENSE Africa (DSA), an ICANN-certified At-Large Structure, has been at the forefront of promoting public discourse
