Among the sessions In the event the one that caught my attention the most was that by [Chris Ani](www.twitter.com/@christianani1) where he talked about how the Nigerian Government can use Blockchain to Improve governance

Dubai is one the the Cities that have gone a long way in putting Blockchain Infrastructure In Place to help better the Life of it's citizens, and Nigeria can take a page from that to set up things that will better the lives of it's citizens

Another Interesting session was the panel where the [STACH](www.steemit.com/@ejemai) founder @ejemai talked about how the Blockchain can help solve Africa's FInancial Inclusion crisis . ALso on the Panel was Miss Ese from [Uport](https://www.uport.me) , Kelechi Onwurah the CEO of [Cryptsone](https://b-m.facebook.com/Crypstone-investment-198246584080878/) and also BitMama

The EOS Fireside Chat with @akintunde was very engaging and educative. he is someone who has really taken out time to study EOS and it's inner workings, among all of the people who I have seen talk about EOS in Meetups he is the one who have given a indepth analysis of what @eos.io is all about

[Akintunde](www.steemit.com/@akintunde) is also a developer, he built the [Steem Payout](www.steempayout.com) site which enables you to know your pending payout from your Steemit posts. The site also give you details of your estimated withdrawal time and also the person who gave you the highest upvote
