  "summary": "The Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON) has announced plans to launch a National Software Industry Registry within the next six months. The registry aims to document software achievements and celebrate software developers in Nigeria, thereby promoting the country's software industry and making it globally visible. ISPON's President, Mr. James Agada, emphasized the importance of recognizing and documenting milestones achieved by software industry professionals, as they often go unrecognized and undocumented. The inauguration of the 2026/2028 National Executive Council (NEC) of ISPON was attended by various industry leaders, including the Director of South West Zone, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and the President of the Nigeria Computer Society.",
