Building on its low base of domains under management of 42,000, the Nigerian ccTLD is targeting 500,000 registrations by the end of 2012.
The Nigeria Internet Registration Association has recently improved its infrastructure, Ope Odusan NIRAâs Chief Operating Officer recently said, and the organisation has been collaborating with some national and international organisations to increase .NGâs usage, reports Nigeriaâs National Mirror.
To improve local registrations, the president of NIRA, Mary Uduma challenged Odusan and the publicity committee of NIRA to come up with more strategies that will help increase .NG registrations among Nigerians, according to another report in This Day.
NIRA is also targeting direct marketing to corporates and individuals, which according to Odusan, has commenced with some level of achievement.
