The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) will partner with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to train 10, 000 Persons of Concern (POCs) on Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
This was stated by the Director-General of NITDA, Malam Inuwa Kashifu Abdullahi during a meeting with the Honourable Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim at the NITDA office in Abuja on Thursday.
Speaking during the meeting, the Honourable Federal Commissioner said, she is at the agency to strengthen their collaboration and enlist the Director-General’s support in areas of ICT training that will uplift and empower Persons of Concern in the country.
She further added that there is a need to adopt a Smart Commission approach as proper data management will enhance a comprehensive discharge of the commission’s mandate.
On his part, the Director-General said “NITDA is more than happy to partner with the Commission and will render all the necessary support and assistance in the proper discharge of its mandate.”
He further stressed the importance of training of the Commission’s staff, saying, “you can bring the best technology but if you don’t have a good manpower or trained personnel, it all goes to the wind”.
“We have a digital transformation working group for such partnership and training. We will set up a team that will work with your team and look for the training needed by the Commission’s staff and Persons of Concern”.
