He said Ghana was going digital and as a leading ICT provider they expected all Ghanaians to make sure the study or knowledge in ICT became part of their lives because ICT would be applied in the day to day activities of everybody.

He said his outfit wanted to ensure that technology was brought to the door step of all Ghanaians in order to equip them with the basic knowledge in ICT.

He said he was confident that with the opening of the Robotics Laboratory at Axim Catholic Girls’ Senior High School, the students would use the opportunity to embrace the study of ICT.

The Headmistress of Axim Catholic Girls, Madam Alberta Quayson also said ICT was very necessary in all institutions now that Ghana was going digital and the world at large.
