I was on X on April 30th when I saw this post about plans by the Federal Government of Nigeria to regulate the IT profession in Nigeria.

I remembered my earliest days computing and how IT changed my life. From a computer room in the University of Lagos to here.

There was no need to kiss the ring of anyone. Sadly like all things the government touches, IT in Nigeria will decline.

To be honest, the current plans are not well thought out. I believe they will stifle innovation in the country.

On Nairaland, you get the pulse of the nation on the matter. Do well to ignore the tribal slurs.
