Consultant Tasks Wike’s Aide On ICT Dev

The Senior Special As
sistant (SSA) to Governor Nyesom Wike on Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Engr William Idoniboye, has been urged to initiate programmes that would enhance development in the department.
The leader trainer, Endwell Communications, Engr Ogirinya Igwe, said this in a media chat with newsmen Wednesday in Port Harcourt.
He said if the SSA on ICT could introduce some new packages, that the department may boost the economy of the state.
Igwe who is a trained electronics engineer, said ICT programmes are the most globally sought after events due to their robust nature.
According to him, almost 85 per cent of countries in the world use ICT in all their transactions, both politically and other wise.
He tasked the governor’s aide on what he described as an all-inclusive ICT farm that will accommodate all classes of people in the state.
The telecom consultant, said another way to succeed in ICT programmes was to involve the youths.
He noted that since some ICT programmes are somehow taskful, young people are the best suited for the system.
The ICT analyst, also called on the SSA to offer the best advice to the state government that would place it above others in the area of ICT development.
Furthermore, he appealed with the state Governor, to make ICT a priority by ensuring that the department was equipped with the latest ICT materials.
It would be recalled that Idoniboye, had earlier promised to run a youth friendly ICT department so as to bring ICT development closer to the people.
