IXPN Drives Collaboration at ngPIF 2024 to Enhance Nigeria’s Connectivity

The Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) team played an instrumental role at the Nigerian Peering and Interconnection Forum (ngPIF) 2024, held at the Lagos Marriott Hotel, Ikeja, from October 23-24. As a significant event for the tech industry in Nigeria, ngPIF provided a platform for IXPN to bring forward valuable insights on strengthening the nation’s internet infrastructure. IXPN’s team engaged in various sessions with peers, stakeholders, and experts, focusing on collaboration to enhance Nigeria’s digital ecosystem and foster connectivity in underserved regions.

IXPN’s CEO took a prominent role in moderating the event’s Experience Sharing Panel, a session dedicated to tackling the complexities of regional peering and interconnection. The discussion allowed leaders to explore current challenges, share experiences, and identify opportunities for expanding connectivity across Nigeria. Through this active involvement, IXPN emphasized its commitment to building a resilient internet infrastructure that supports both economic and social growth.

Founded in 2019, ngPIF has become a key annual event, gathering decision-makers from infrastructure, content, and service providers alongside policymakers. Organized by IXPN in partnership with the Nigerian Network Operators Group, the forum fosters knowledge sharing on network interconnection and peering economics, addressing information gaps within the sector. By convening experts and industry leaders, ngPIF serves as a critical space for advancing Nigeria’s peering community and promoting the digital future of the nation.

Through their participation, the IXPN team demonstrated their pivotal role in driving Nigeria’s digital development, reinforcing IXPN’s mission to strengthen peering relationships and improve internet accessibility across the country.
