Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, has inaugurated two inter-agency committees with the mandate to review, collate, commission and communicate in local languages, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) projects implemented for Nigerians under President Muhammadu Buhari.

The two Ministerial committees which are Completed Projects Review Committee and Committee on Media Engagement in Local Languages are chaired by Ayuba Shuaibu, Executive Secretary, Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF) and Dr Usman Gambo Abdullahi, Director, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), respectively.

DigitalTimesNG understands that membership of the committees is drawn from all the five agencies supervised by the Ministry including NCC, NITDA, Galaxy Backbone, NIGCOMSAT and NIPOST.

Pantami stated that while the Ministry and the agencies had successfully complemented a number of projects across the geo-political zones in the country which have great benefits to Nigerians, the existence of these projects has not been sufficiently communicated to the public in our local languages.

“There has not been so much awareness creation on the presence of these projects among Nigerians who are the ultimate beneficiaries,” Pantami said.

The Minister said that in concrete terms, the responsibility of the Ministerial Committee on Completed Projects Review and Commissioning is to collate all the laudable projects and then organise virtual commissioning in order to bring them to the consciousness of Nigerians.

On the responsibility of the Ministerial Committee Media Engagement in Nigerian Languages, Pantami said the committee will work to ensure awareness creation about the projects, their locations and benefits to Nigerians using local languages such as Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Fulfude spoken in the zone where the projects are sited.

Present at the inauguration were the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta; Director-General of NITDA, Kasifu Abdullah; and Dr Abimbola Alale, Managing Director, NIGCOMSAT.
