The Rivers State Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department says it has concluded plans to train another 500 participants in ICT.
\nThis was contained in the training schedule of the Department made available to the public in \u00a0Port Harcourt, recently.
\nThe schedule shows that the exercise will last for three months, accommodating all participants at a stretch.
\nThe three-month progra-mme codenamed \u2018Codegam-inator\u2019, will include Coding, Games Development and Animations Development.
\nOthers are Cyber Security, Database Administration (DBA), Design (UI\/UX), Photography and Cinematography, as well as Hardware and Networking.
\nThe Tide learnt that the training is expected to cost N60,000 per participant, but has already been defrayed by some companies and well meaning individuals in the state.
\nMeanwhile, some interested members of the public have called on the ICT Department to extend the deadline for registration by two weeks to allow more participation in the programme.
\nOne of such persons was Mr Azuka Chukumgba, who claimed that the notice was not made public early enough.
\nChukumgba pleaded that the deadline for registration should be extended by additional 14 days, using search means as an excuse.
\nThe registration exercise was expected to have ended on April 30, 2021.
\nThe ICT Department is, however, yet to fix the date for the commencement of the training programme.<\/p>\n
