The Blockchain Nigeria User Group (BNUG), a group of blockchain and cryptocurrency developers, enthusiasts, and investors has announced that they are organizing a “Blockchain and Futuretech conference.” The conference is set to take place on 29th and 30th September 2022.
The group’s aim has been to drive the adoption and awareness of the Blockchain industry in Nigeria and across Africa, since its inception in 2016, and currently, through this conference, the community aims to come up with ways to impact and support the Nigerian political ecosystem through blockchain technology.
The two-day program is expected to be the most advanced, impactful immersive tech and growth conference granting participants access to Virtual Reality Rooms, GameFi platforms, and interactions within different metaverse worlds.
Mr. Stanley Jacobs, former Business Development Manager for MasterCard Africa, and Chief Executive at Stanbic IBTC Financial Services Limited will chair the conference, with the Special Guest of Honor being Mr. Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, Hon. Director General National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
According to BNUG’s released statement, participants will be able to mint special access NFTs for different aspects of the event and also support their preferred 2023 presidential candidates via blockchain technology.
In addition, participants will be able to lay the first stone with NFTs and learn precisely what they are and what you can do with them, and better yet, understand how to become an NFT buyer or seller.
Through such conventions, the Blockchain Nigeria User Group intends to create a pro-innovation environment for the blockchain industry, meeting the growing global demand for accessible, transparent, and democratic financial and collaborative systems.
Now transitioning into a DAO, BNUG is a sub-set of Organisation of Blockchain Technology Users (OBTU), a duly incorporated Trust with CAC, and an association desiring Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) status for the Blockchain Technology Industry in Nigeria and across Africa.
