FOREWORD
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you all to the maiden edition of the
International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and its
Applications (ICTA, 2016), hosted by the School of Information and Communication
Technology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, with the theme: ICT for
sustainable development.
No doubt, ICT has pervaded virtually every facet of human existence, and with its
reach, richness and performance holds great promise. However, there still abound numerous and diverse
developmental challenges in our society that can and should be addressed through the deployment of
necessary ICT functionalities and tools. To this end, ICTA 2016 is geared towards providing opportunity
for researchers and developers, in academia and industry, to explore their innovative ideas. Technical
sessions are organized to foster discussions and sharing of experiences in the fields of computer science,
cyber security science, information and media technology, library and information technology,
telecommunications, computer, and electrical engineering, and other cognate areas.
In response to the call for submission, a total of 84 papers were received. The papers were subjected to
rigorous reviews, with each receiving a minimum of two reviews. Out of these, 42 papers (making an
acceptance rate of 50%) have finally been accepted for presentation at ICTA 2016 and included in the
Proceedings. The Conference Organizing Committee sincerely believes that the accepted papers will indeed
serve as a needed catalyst for sustainable development.
On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, I graciously appreciate all the reviewers for their
dedication to the review process. We hope that you have a wonderful and fruitful time at the Conference.
Dr. I. Idris
Chairman, Conference Organizing Committee

ICT For Development in 3rd World Countries – Nigeria as a Case Study
It is a known fact that one of the major actuators of any knowledge-based economy is information
and communication technology (ICT). Consequently, its role in the growth and sustainable
development of developing countries, Nigeria inclusive, cannot be overemphasized. This paper
identifies the challenges facing Information Technology Industry in Nigeria, and discusses some
strategies required to achieve the full potential of ICT as a driving force of the country’s economy.
Limited and high cost of internet access, especially broadband; lack of cooperation among operators;
dearth of capacity in the software sector; and struggling hardware industry, to mention but few, are
some of the problems currently plaguing the growth of ICT in the country. Consequently, to move
the nation forward, there is need to, amongst others, encourage public-private partnerships at the
different levels of government towards spreading fibre rings throughout the country, incentivize
operators to increase investment in relevant infrastructure, promote the collaborative development
of open source software, encourage indigenous software developers through different incentives,
encourage patronage of locally developed hardware and software, establish IT parks, and establish
assembly plants for production of hardware resources.

Prof. Ali Selamat (UTM, Malaysia)
ICT for Development in the Third World Countries – The Malaysian Story
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has increasingly become an integral component
of global and economic transformations. It now serve as a yardstick for evaluating the
competitiveness and accelerated level of technological change(s)of World economies. The impact of
ICT diffusion in developing economies cannot be over-emphasized; yet, not all developing
economies have utilized or are utilizing ICTs to effectively engender economic growth. This could
be one of the major reasons behind the backwardness of some developing countries. This
presentation therefore x-rays ways in which ICTs have aided a country like Malaysia to promote
developments across many sectors which has empowered them to be more productive, thereby
prompting economic growth and stimulating firms within and outside the country to be more
competitive. This presentation would also consider how Malaysia is fully utilizing ICTs to enhance
healthcare delivery, environmental sustainability, security, manufacturing, research and development.
We hope that this presentation would stimulate the minds of participants to acquire greater
appreciation of the potentials ICTs holds for social and economic transformations as well as the
benefits that can follow for developing nations that fully exploit these benefits. We also look
forward to engaging in a broader dialogue with policymakers, thought leaders and stakeholders on
how governments, industries and workers can effectively collaborate to unravel the full potentials of
ICTs in developing countries.

Remi Afon (President, CSEAN)
The Role of Information Security for Effective ICT Sustainability
The paper discusses the attributes of Information Security as an enabler for ICT Sustainability and
provides audience with an understanding of the role and potential of Information Security in
information and communication technologies. From ransomware to IoT vulnerabilities, the paper
outlines at a high level, key ICT infrastructures which are becoming cyber criminals’ targets and
what needs to be done to mitigate cyber-attacks. The paper also looks at how Nigeria can be a
supplier of “offshore information security professional services” considering the global information
security professional crisis in order to come out of current economic recession. It has been
estimated that there will be a global shortage of 1.5 million cyber security experts by 2020.

Title: Mapping 19th Century Black Canadians Historiography with a 21st Century Geo-
Mapping Technology: The Case of the Promised Land Project
The Promised Land Project: History and Historiography of the Black-Canadian Experience in
Chatham-Kent's Settlements and Beyond is the result of a 2006-2012 Strategic Research Program,
funded by the Social Sciences and Humanity Council of Canada (CRSH).The project’s mandate was
to create a Community-University Research Alliance that would cut across disciplinary boundaries
and build bridges among academics, community researchers, and students at all levels. The research
eschewed 19thcentury African Canadian history from the often romanticized “Underground
Railroad” narratives that portray Southern Ontario as a safe heaven, a welcoming destination of
Blacks fleeing from slavery. The Promised Land findings reveal that the Chatham-Kent area was not
only a crucial settlement site for early Black presence in Canada, as well, but also a site of resistance
and self-determination. Using Cultural Studies framework, members of this research trace physical
and intellectual trajectories of blackness, which have radiated from this little town of Southern
Ontario to other parts of Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and Africa. The methodological
question arising from this finding was then: How can we represent this multiple intellectual
trajectories and physical migrations? In this presentation, I will not so much focus on the
technological outcome of the Promised Land Project; rather, I would like to talk more about the
ways in which social scientists and humanity researchers could greatly benefit from Geo Mapping
technologies to study human phenomena, from history, to managing demography, to implementing
appropriate and effective policies. Indeed, by using today Geo Mapping technology together with
historical surveys, we were able to trace, not only key historical black Canadian figures, but also all of
the places impacted by their intellectual activism.
