Gateway Development in Nigeria

At this 'electric movement' age, how do we promote and enable sustainable development and poverty reduction through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Nigeria? This is not going to be determined by our government or waiting to be brought up and enhanced by any indivudual, it's a collective work of the ICT empowered youth and companies. Here is the project outline by the concerned Nigerians to take IT global:
Title: NIGERIA DEVELOPMENT GATEWAYLocation:Categories: ICTs & Digital Opportunities
Status: In Progress Timeline: Ongoing
Description:The Nigeria Development Gateway is an Internet Portal whose mission is to promote and enable sustainable development and poverty reduction through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The portal will serve as Nigeria's Information Gateway showcasing information on opportunities for investment, tourism, resources on best practices on development issues generally. The portal will also feature databases of NGOs, government agencies, private sector as well as eGovernment resources, eLearning, business opportunities, etc in relation to Nigeria. The prototype is up and the portal is under construction but at present, features current news items, online discussion forums, development resources materials and topics, e-Books etc.
Objectives:To promote the use of ICTs as enablers of sustainable development and poverty reduction in Nigeria and to position NiDG as a development catalyst in Nigeria.
Needs:For now, we want to develop local content for our portal. We require articles, write-ups, research findings and contributions in this area. Partnership with organisations on other areas of focus are also required, to make the portal relevant to the needs of its users and also serve very relevant purpose within its niche. We want to encourage Nigerians and prospective/actual visitors to Nigeria to visit the portal (http://www.nidg.org) for information and interactive, on-line discussions. The portal is presently still under construction but will be launched very soon. We are also looking for partnership in areas such as content development, funding, ICT training/workshops, etc. as well as strategy.
