• Emphasizes The Importance Of ICT In Advancement Of The Digital Economy

As part of efforts to build the capacity and skills of our youths to enable them compete favorably in the 21st Century technology driven economy, yesterday, I empowered over 150 Anambra Youths with brand new advanced high tech HP laptops.

The world is moving away from oil and natural resources economy to the ICT/creative industry and one of the way to help the youth is to provide veritable means for capacity building and empower them with tools to excel in that field.

Proficiency in computer operations is an absolute requirement for success in today’s technology-driven environment. The empowerment programme is therefore designed to equip and empower the youths with digital knowledge as a premise for entrepreneurial skill and self-reliance.

Congratulations to the 150 youths who were privileged to be beneficiaries of this edition of my ICT empowerment programme.

o

I implore you all to continue to make very good use of these laptops to build yourselves up the more in this area and watch yourself become more relevant in the scheme of things within and outside the ICT sphere.

It is my expectation that this empowerment will create leverage for Digital innovations and Entrepreneurship among our youths who will consequently become job providers and contribute to the growth of the nation’s economy.

Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Ubah.
Anambra South Senatorial District.
