Mr. Odusan's current responsibilities include managing their "Switch to .NG" campaign. The campaign uses a multi-stakeholder approach to bring universities, businesses, end-users, and others together to discuss and improve the national namespace. He also is actively spreading awareness among foreign entities the domain possibilities available in the .ng name space, given that many English words end in "NG". One prominent example is Microsoft's acquisition of the bi.ng domain.<ref>[[ICANN 42]] Interview</ref> He stresses that the world-class registry that he and his colleagues have created has the ability to create jobs in Nigeria, fuel technical innovation, and support further national development.<ref>[http://www.itrealms.com.ng/2011/09/odusan-outlines-benefits-of-switching.html NG Switch, ITRealms.com.ng]</ref>
