See reactions to Saraki’s tweet on Senate’s new ICT dept
On Thursday, an excited Senate President BUkola Saraki took to his twitter handle to announce the setting up of a functional (Information and Communications Technology) ICT department in the Senate, But a number of Nigerians took him to task for the feat.
See their tweet replies below:
Our vision in 8th @NGRSenate is to see how we can use technology to improve the lives of Nigerians and do things on more efficient ways
@bukolasaraki @NGRSenate Learn to do things right. You lack competence and capacity in Using Tech to improve the lives of Nigerians.
