The
Director General of National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA),
Mallam Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi on Wednesday received the delegation from Ringim
Elders Forum who paid a courtesy visit to the Agency’s headquarter Abuja to
seek for intervention in the areas of Digital Literacy and Capacity Building
for youths in Ringim Emirate.
Abdullahi asserted that the visit would not have come at a better time than this as the Agency is
looking for communities where it can deploy ICT intervention and the projects
will be sustain and used optimally for the benefit of all Nigerians.
The
DG affirmed that it is one of the Agency’s mandate to build the capacity of
Nigerians on digital literacy and also educate them on how to use technology in
general. In this regards, having the chairman of this great forum like this has
given us great assurance that any intervention rendered will be highly
utilised.
Earlier,
the Chairman of the Ringim Elders Forum, Alhaji Uba Bala Ringim, a retired
Deputy Inspector General of Police, applauded the Agency’s effort towards the
drive of ICT across the country.
He
assured NITDA of their full commitment and support in making sure that the
Agency achieves its mandate of making Nigeria a Digital Economy.
