The Director General of the Plateau State Information and Communication Technology Development Agency (PICTDA), Mr David Daser has stressed the leading role ICT can play in the COVID-19 containment policy effort of the Plateau State Government.
According to Mr Daser, the Plateau State government believes that policy, technology, the medical industry and communities must be fully mobilised to halt the spread of the disease. This is why the Governor has invited all available initiatives that can provide ample solution to contain its spread.
He added: “Governor Simon Lalong is a firm believer in the power of technology and is totally committed to getting all stakeholders including the medical and technology communities to find solutions that will not only raise awareness on COVID-19, but offer new approaches and quick actions to addressing crisis situations, like the current one related to the coronavirus.”
