ngNOG and NCC to Host 2026 Internet Forum in Lagos
The Network Operators Group (ngNOG), in collaboration with the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), is organizing the 2026 Nigerian Peering and Interconnect Forum (ngPIF) in Lagos. This two-day event will focus on strengthening internet peering and interconnection while improving local traffic exchange.
The forum is deemed essential as Nigeria's internet infrastructure is at a critical stage, prompting various stakeholders, including regulators, network operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Data Centre operators, and technology companies, to come together. Prof. Adewale Adedokun, the convenor of ngNOG, stated that the forum is necessary for Nigeria to adopt a more strategic approach to internet traffic exchange, content delivery, and hosting of digital services, which are vital for the country's rapidly expanding digital economy.
