Director-General of Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Dr. Victoria Akai, has revealed that all is set for Nigeria’s first Space Economy Conference billed to hold from October 16 to 20, 2023.

According to the ACCI boss, the country is a proud member of the space community.

“We have our own Space Agency that has a clear vision and a strong mandate to continue pushing the boundaries of space technology for the benefit of our society,” she stated at an awareness forum for the summit and exhibitions, with the theme ‘Exploring Space Economy for Africa’s Economic Growth” organised by ACCI and National Space Research And Development Agency (NASRDA), in Abuja.

She informed her audience that the conference was coming at a critical juncture in the country’s development, and an opportunity for the citizens to take stock of progress so far and plot a course for the future.

“The conference will give us the opportunity to hear from some of the world’s experts on the latest developments in space technology, and their insights will help us chart our path, and explore new ways to harness space technology to solve some of our most pressing challenges,” she added.
