Mrs Akeredolu Charges Young Women To Be Ict Compliant For Self Reliance: by adebayoabiola: 1:16pm On Apr 19, 2019
The wife of the Ondo state governor, Arabinrin Betty-Anyanwu Akeredolu has called on young women to be computer literate and explore digital media to acquire fund.



She specifically advised the educated women whose husband have denied the opportunity to work with their certificate to tap into the opportunity provided by digitalisation through Information Communication Technology and make money right in their homes.



Mrs. Akeredolu who gave this advice while playing host to the members of the Association of Online Media Practitioners, Ondo state chapter in her office, also tasked online journalists and bloggers to sanitise the digital media space by curbing the spread of fake news.



” Online journalism has come to stay in Nigeria as it has opened up the space for people to express themselves without hindrance, and there are quite a number of things that are good about it.



“There is also the downside of it which are fake news and bullying, but I believe that with decent people cautioning those bullies on social media, probably they might have a rethink. People use social media to spread rumours against those they perceived as political opponents, but I want to believe that those of you that see it as your profession might also help in sanitizing the online space for Nigeria’, she said.



According to her, any society that subjugate 50% of her population cannot progress, and lamented the level of gender disparity witnessed in every sector in Nigeria, especially in politics.



She noted that the fear of losing their marriages is one of the reasons some women are silent about gender equality, and therefore enjoined those in such category to develop their potential through ICT tools.



“So, these women that are home and your husband is not letting you, ICT is the way out. Become computer literate, start coding and be in your house and make money. You will even make money more than him. Because if you say you want to do gender equality you wouldn’t want to lose your marriage but this is a veritable way out”, she said.



Mrs. Akeredolu, a gender-based activist lamented the rate at which marriages are crashing in this generation, attributing it to the failure to move along with the global change, noting that Nigerians are still lurked in the olden way of seeing marriage.
