| Aregbesola, Osun State Governor |
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has advocated for the bridging of
the ever growing digital gap between the developed and developing economies of
the world.
Speaking at the eight edition of the Nigerian Telecoms Awards organised
by Logical Media Group, Gov Aregbesola said Nigeria must ensure that there is a
structure in place in a bid to realise the economic agenda of the nation and
attract more investment in the sector.
"We all have to remember that technology, just like time, waits for
nobody," he said stressing the need to adopt Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) as a fundamental right, even than politics.
According to Aregbesola, investments in advanced technology acquisition
are fundamental to the achievement of nation's agenda as regard Vision 20:2020.
Aregbesola commended the creation of the Communications Technology
Ministry by the federal Government, asserting that ICT industry was one of the
highly promising and rapidly growing sectors of the nations' economy.
He highlighted some of the areas at which the sector has helped the
economy to include job creation as well as transparency in governance.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
