All is now
set for the relocation of the headquarters of the Computer Professionals (RegistrationCouncil) of Nigeria (CPN) to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja,
reports ITRealms.
Confirming
this development to ITRealms, CPN
president and chairman in council, Prof. Charles Uwadia, said in Lagos, Tuesday
at the maiden edition of the Media
Forum with Media Executives Forum which included Information Technology (IT)
Editors and Journalists at Sheraton Hotel, that all is set to achieve
this mandate.
According to him, the CPN council has already
given its green light on this move which must commence as soon as possible,
stressing that the move is to aside closing ranks with its supervisory ministry
of Education and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in carrying
it out its regulatory function to aid entrenchment of professionalism in the IT
practices among stakeholders.
The current
Lagos office, he said, would be retained and active despite the proposed
relocation, just as the exercise will be completed before end of this year,
2018.
ITRealms recalls that the Prof.
Uwadia-led council came into stream since July 2017 and was formally inaugurated
by the Minister for Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu on Friday 8th September,
2017 in Abuja.
Till date,
the current council had hosted a strategic session for newly inaugurated
Council members and CPN management on Thursday 7th September, 2017
at Ayalla Hotel, Abuja, in addition to hosting the 82 and 83 regular meeting of
the council both in Abuja and Lagos respectively.
For improved interaction with other sister agencies of government,
ITRealms reports that CPN had signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the
National Council of Colleges of Education (NCCE); paid courtesy visits to Teachers
Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), National Universities Commission (NUC),
Budget and National Planning.
Further,
ITRealms reports that CPN equally held a maiden edition of the Information Technology (IT) CEOs’ Roundtable with
the theme, “Leveraging Information
Technology for Economic Recovery” at Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, on
Tuesday 7thNovember, 2017 to name a few.
