Quoting a speech by Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, Mr. Amonu said \u201cThe number one benefit of information Technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do, it lets people be creative, it lets people be productive, it lets people learn things they didn\u2019t think they could learn before so in the sense it\u2019s all about potential that is to say things that we are capable of doing\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also reiterated that with the four weeks of training from the Korean volunteers, the students have benefited from ICT application in business community and its application in governance.<\/p>\n
