And for the disgraced and discredited country hating and low self esteem Reno Omokri and his ignorant ipob followers, this is the man in charge of our ICT.

A great professional with strong ICT education and background.


I understand the ignorance and lack of intelligence of the bitter, angry and disgruntled Igbos, but Reno Omokri spent so many years in government, but sill dumb and clueless about Nigerian government and who is in charge of our ministries and agencies..


What a sad shame..

When did we appoint ICT minister

na today?..buhari is a cow realer but he is a president in Nigeria.. amechi is a lawyer-minister for transportation.. Solomon Dalung former market women secretary-minister for sport.Audu ugbe former mechanic- minister of agriculture....ministerial appointment in Nigeria,is a thank you gift for party loyalties...just look at the mans face,and you wonder who is deputizing for him at his shrine while he moves around as a minister..

If you can separate Communications from ICT, then you are the one that needs an education.

What ministry is supervising NITDA if not ministry of communication, NCC is also under the same ministry the last time I checked the ministry was in charge of NITEL ,MTEL, ncc, nipost, nitda etc.
The truth is that even if he is not in charge of ICT like you claim why is such a person put in charge of ministry of communication, a lawyer for that matter who possibly is not computer literate and does not understand IT policies. When the lawyer fails to perform the government would blame Jonathan's government for his not performing.

Afonja go to school you no gree
Ok let me break it down for you,what is ICT? ?
ICT means information and communication technology.
Facebook and all other forms of social media including Nairaland is a form of ICT which has to do with communication and information so therefore without Nairaland you can't be communicating with me here and the same goes to our telecoms like MTN, glo and the rest.

1. Nigeria doesn't have ICT minister and that is your Number 1 ignorance about your own country.

2. We have an agency in charge of ICT and Bunmi okunowo is the head of that agency in charge of our ICT regardless under what ministry.

3. Bunmi Okunowo is who Nigeria gave our ICT task to, he is who we are paying to lead our ICT efforts, he has the skills and ICT background to do the job hence our leading role in ICT all over Africa.



You can swim in your ignorance all you want, the person we gave our ICT agency to and who we are paying for that Job is Bunmi Okunowo..

check the website of the federal ministry of communications

asorocker:

below is the screentshot website of the federal ministry of communications

Going by your sad and pathetic ignorant conclusion, why did the government set up a different agency to deal with ICT and put an ICT professional in place to head that agency instead of just ministry of communication with no ICT dept.

Why?


Answer that question and spot the absurdity in your lame argument..
