Wow! just like yesterday... AfICTA was birthed. I remember the Founding Chair sharing the vision and I tried to key into it visually which led to the current Logo of AfICTA and serving as the pioneer Programme Officer.
I also remember the very first Summit in Lagos and how AfICTA began taking progressive strides. It is no doubt that AfICTA has become a voice in the Continent of Africa and even on other continents.
A big thank you to everyone that has worked tirelessly to make AfICTA go strong after a decade. Greater works and achievements lie ahead. Let's keep connecting African ICT players. Let's keep it going better and better to ensure the promise of the digital age is fulfilled for everyone in Africa.

I am delighted to express my warmest greetings and congratulations to AflCTA (Africa ICT Alliance) on its magnificent Ten-year Corporate Anniversary!. There is no doubt that in a few years of its existence, AflCTA has made its presence an invaluable one in Africa through its role in promoting, strengthening, and enhancing the development of the continent in its plan toward digitalization. This feat isn’t surprising as the stakeholders and the leadership remain dedicated and passionate about the delivery of its vision which is to fulfill the promise of the digital age for everyone in Africa.
I want to especially appreciate the founder, Dr. Jimson Olufuye for conceiving this great vision and for all who have contributed to its nurturing, wishing them the best of luck even as AfICTA transits into another decade with greater opportunities and successes. Thank you all for the part you have played in this ten-years journey.
May AflCTA continue to uphold its Values, Mission and Vision. Please keep raising the bar with your dedication, innovation, and creativity. Happy Ten-Year Anniversary!
Prof. Adenike Osofisan.
In the second decade of the 21st century, the role of Information technology & communication was on the rise to affect the lives of humans all over the earth. Africa due to the heritage of under-development was not responding to the ICT revolution. In 2012 EiTESAL communicated with a few other entities in Africa to start advocating the need for Africa to mobilize its resources to fill the technology gap.
While AfICTA - Africa ICT Alliance is celebrating a tenth-anniversary milestone, which is a big achievement, we shall thank Dr. Jimson Olufuye & Eng. Hossam Elgamal, who together paved the way for AfICTA to have a seat in the international organizations; ICC-BASIS (International Chamber of Commerce on Business Actions to Support the Information Society), IGF - Internet Governance Forum…etc.
This celebration is the outcome of the remarkable people who started thinking of regional change, and this anniversary sums up the values that AfICTA presents such as trust, credibility, and reliability. For the last ten years, AfICTA advocates for the African Private Sector and represents the ICT industry interests in the African Union. These efforts would continue in the upcoming years with more effort and persistence.
Now AfICTA will continue with what it has started in addition to playing a crucial role in integrating the industry players all over the continent to allow the free flow of information & IT products between the African countries. It is a celebration for all who have been a part of the AfICTA through all those years, and I am proud to be one of them and will do my best to support the organization's vision to fulfill the promise of the digital age for everyone in Africa.
Congratulations AfICTA for the present and upcoming successes.
