The Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele has admonished pupils and students who participated in the just concluded two-weeks training on Information Communication Technology (ICT), to use the knowledge gained for the development of their academics and shun any act of internet fraud.

Engr. Salako-Oyedele gave the charge at the grand finale of the summer training for primary and secondary school students, organised by Bureau of Information Technology, Ogun Techhub in partnership with Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), Ogun State Chapter and a Non-Governmental Organisation, Omo Oye Foundation.

Represented by the Special Adviser on Primary and Secondary Education, Mrs. Ronke Soyombo, the Deputy Governor stated that it was imperative for everyone to embrace ICT to meet up with global trends, saying Computer Base Test (CBT) had taken centre stage in most examinations.

Salako-Oyedele who said Ogun State is in the forefront of advancing ICT in the country, urged the participants to put what they have learnt into practice, towards educational and socio-economic development of the State.

Earlier in her welcome address, Director of Information Technology in the Bureau, Mrs. Olatundun Adekunte commended the Prince Dapo Abiodun led administration for creating enabling environment for e-learning to thrive, charging parents to encourage their wards in the use of ICT.

Adekunte called on others who are yet to participate to key into the opportunity in subsequent training, as registration is free.
