of the owners and our partners to make big ICT deals happen in this continent

citizens with the convenience to pay over a period of over three years,” he
said, stressing that this takes care of complaints of lack of skilled civil
servants when all that is needed is to provide a platform to tool them and by
extension their kids in educational institutions.
“When you guarantee a civil
servant to buy a laptop on credit and pay over a period of 2 -3 years you are
indirectly empowering his whole family,” he asserted, reassuring that IT
knowledge is key to human survival in this century.
