The Director made this observation at the end of a conference held on Thursday in Acrra. The conference had the theme: “International Development-African led Solutions”
Gosier said: “While the young show a lot of interest in ICT, with many of them being conversant with it, the elderly do not appear to be all that keen to learn ICT.”
ICT has come to stay, therefore, in the modern world, it is impossible to “Think development without thinking ICT,” he said.
Speaking on the aim and objective of the conference, Gosier said such conferences were organised periodically by APPS 4 Africa, to bring together African Ministers of State as well as other stakeholders, to deliberate on how best “to source out solutions from innovative minds” that could best be used in solving problems that confront Africa.
He said it became possible to suggest solutions that were practical and relevant to the issues at stake.
This is apart from policymakers, involving Africans, who were directly affected by the issues that culminated into the problems faced in the ICT sector especially.
