Dear Chris:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I
) in response to the Reference (a) above.

Dear Bill:

(2) Pls feel free to contact Chris.  He is a good person for your inquiry since he knows echelons of Nigerian ICTs.

Dear Chris:

(3) I am very happy to receive your msg.

Pls contact Walter at your earliest convenience since he is now organizing a workshop to be held in Niger Delta region in this coming summer or fall with fund which Peter is now raising from the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and Niger Delta Development Commission.

(4) This workshop will discuss the following projects;

(a) Concept Paper by W. G. Ollor and T. Utsumi;
"Creation of Global University System in Nigeria (GUS/Nigeri

(5) These may go along with PeterÕs following project of deploying wireless broadband Internet (Wibro) in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria with fund from South Korea;

Peter Jack,
ÒEDCF Proposal for Wireless Broadband Internet Infrastructure for eEducation and eCommerce
:
A partnership for Sustainable Development of the Niger Delta Region between
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Republic of KoreaÓ

This Wibro may also be used for e-healthcare and telemedicine as mentioned in;

(03/14/09) Possible rural e-health and telemedecine in Niger Delta region with the use of wireless broadband Internet (Wibro)

(6) Peter is now also constructing a concept paper entitled ÒeGov Partnerships for Peace, Social Inclusion and Development Initiative,Ó which will include the above projects and which is to be the outline of his Ph.D. thesis at the Soul University in Korea — he will complete his thesis in the next one year after having finished all course requirements.

(7) I hope that those projects will foster in Niger Delta region the followings;

(a) Creation of Education City as Qatar in the Middle East,
(b) Software Knowledge Engineering Design, Research and Development,
(c) Knowledge industries as Cuba (educational services) and Mexico (medical services).


(8) I look forward to have your active help/cooperation with WalterÕs and PeterÕs projects, and hope to see you again at WalterÕs workshop.

AW: [gu-new] (03/11/06) Thriving African film industry, Nollywood

Dear Prof Utsumi/William,

First let me appreciate the efforts involved in ensuring that this loop remains alive and active.  

William, I am in position to verify and validate the claims about Nigeria's emerging film industry...The Nolywood Experience.... William is absolutely right.

The next level of Nolywood is the converged services level of knowledge and creative content.
What is covertly emerging and actively at play at its early stages is the emergence of the new creative class in Africa/Nigeria - championed by the knowledge cluster industry.
 
The current sitiation is real and true. Multimedia demand is growning simultaneously at the Film and Education Domains.  IPTV investment is also incubating at the corner.

My prediction is that the critical mass will - very soon - be built around Software Knowledge Engineering Design, Research and Development.

Best wishes,
Regards,
Chris Uwaje
