The Deputy Secretary
\nGeneral of International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Dr Hamadoun Toure, has described Nigeria\u2019s loss at the just concluded conference in South Korea as gallant for taking the process to a fourth round.
\nThe ITU scribe, said the union has not experienced such development since its inception.
\nThe Tide gathered that a Nigerian, Mr Shola Taylor, had wanted to occupy the ITU\u2019s seat as its secretary general, but was stopped by Mr Malcom Johnson from United Kingdom.
\nToure, noted that Nigeria\u2019s performance in the\u00a0 election, has shown her interest in the development of the telecommunication industry.
\nShola, whose bid received President Jonathan\u2019s nod, lost to the British citizen Monday, in South Korea.
\nThe Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs Omobola Johnson, has said that Nigerians would work with the new leadership of the union as to move it forward.
\nShe also recalled that Taylor has a lot of experience in the telecom industry, saying he ran a wonderful campaign and has done Nigeria very well.
\nOther delegates to the election, also blamed Nigerian lost to what they called \u201cgeo-politics\u201d, adding that Taylor would have done better, should he had succeeded as ITU\u2019s Deputy Secretary-General.
\nNarrating his experience, Taylor said it was an unprecedented election, hinting that the union only recorded fourth round in the first time.
\nHe has lauded the Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs Omobola Johnson, over her support during the election, as he promised to work harder in his bid to move the country\u2019s telecom industry forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
