Nigeria gets its first ICT Minister, challenges ahead of her...

Mrs. Omobola Olubusola Johnson
Until recently, Mrs. Omobola Olubusola Johnson was the Managing Director of Accenture, Nigeria - the first woman to hold the position in the country. A Bachelor's Degree holder in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester, she also has a Master’s degree in Digital Electronics from King's College, London. She joined Accenture, then Andersen Consulting in 1985. At Andersen, she majored in the areas of enterprise transformation, having worked with boards and management of several banks, including the Central Bank of Nigeria.

She is coming in as the first minister of a newly-created Ministry of Communication Technology. One of the primary challenges of communication technology ministry will be to draft a broadband policy and a legal and regulatory framework that would engender the broadband access for economic development.
Her biggest task, however, would be to consolidate the multiplicity of government agencies starting from the Nigerian Communications Commission, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, National Information Technology Development Agency, Galaxy Backbone Plc, National Spectrum Board and Nigerian Communication Satellite Company, among a host of others, in the communications and technology sector that are duplicating and falling over each other in the sector.
Although Johnson comes with a resume that can take on the challenges of starting a new ministry, she would still have to contend with the overlapping role her ministry would have with the Ministries of Information and Communications, and Science and Technology, and the turf wars certain to take place as her ministry tries to instill sanity in the ICT sector.
