The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), has signalled it is embarking on a renewed determination to ensure the adequate and increased application and use of IT tools and solutions in all government establishments across the country.
Aware of the paucity of uptake and deployment of IT in especially the public sector, and in realisation of the critical need to embrace electronic systems for governance and administration, NITDA’s Director-General, Mr. Peter Jack, said the crusade to take IT to all nooks and crannies of the country, to all public and private establishments, with the schools being the incubation centres, is now its priority.
Mr. Jack was speaking against the backdrop of renewed vigour by the Agency to ensure that IT tools and solutions used in the country meet standards set by NITDA for the purpose of ensuring rapid and widespread human capital development.
