A third award was also given to Vodacom for Enterprise Broadband Services Provider of the year.

The BoICT awards is a merit-based celebration organised by Nigeria’s leading technology publication, Nigeria CommunicationsWeek, which aims to recognise outstanding contributions to the growth and development of ICT in Nigeria.
