Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has said that it has brought access to ICT to 400 out of Nigeria’s 774 local governments in Nigeria, the agency said the action is meant to ensure people in rural areas across Nigeria access and make maximum use of information technology services.
The agency said it has initiated in rural areas intervention projects such as Community Access Centres, which enables the agency to provide computers, broad band, internet services to the communities until the projects are sustained and appreciated by the rural communities.
Also, Daily Trust reported that there are Knowledge Access Centres through which established computer centres are provided with internet services so that pupils and students in such rural areas are exposed to information technology services right from their infancy.
