The .ng is Nigeria’s unique identity on the Domain Name space, yet the predominance of the adoption of .com and .uk still holds sway. The Switchto.ng Campaign is targeted at creating awareness of the anomaly, and enlightenment on the need to use our own identity.
The Switchto.ng Campaign is an affirmative action on the value of .ng, and why the Nigerian government, Ministries, Departments and Agencies should adopt the Nigerian identity. It is a call to Nigerian institutions, industries, SMES, individuals to switch to .ng.
