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

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.

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
