Mr. Adekilekun noted that by the time the current administration would mark 100 Days in Office, the State would have achieved many developmental goals in the areas of ICT in line with the Technology Innovation agenda of the government.
He described the convergence of experts and stakeholders drawn from Governmental and Non-governmental Organizations and members of the academia from higher institutions of learning to brainstorm on how best to come up with the State ICT and Innovation Policies as a better way of tapping from the pool of knowledge of experts and stakeholders.
